We have been negotiating. Many legacy holders have turned in addresses
or signed the RSA. Stanford University is one place that did the work of
renumbering to return addresses.

In any case, at some point we have to say enough is enough. We give
people the opportunity to play ball but when they refuse to come on
board, we have to act unilaterally. I believe that we are now at the
point, due to IPv4 exhaustion being so near, where we have to give
people ONE LAST CHANCE, and after that act unilaterally.

We won't be acting arbitrarily because ARIN is an open organization and
any actions will be discussed openly until we come to a consenus. This
is our strength and I believe that when ARIN finally does act, it won't
polarize anthing and will not create a mess.
