[arin-discuss] Multiple POCs and associated cruft - any scalablesolution?

[Isaac Uban]

I recently had some resources assigned to me and during the justification 
proccess I had to have several /24s re-assigned to me. It was inevidable 
that they were all put under different Handles. Annoying to say the least. 
I'm curious if there isn't a solution to this issue.

Thanks,
