None of this is official, but, it is baed on my observations of the various
projections and the industry trends.

The closest thing I've seen to a clock is:

This sort of has hands and is a liberal artistic license inspired by
the corpus clock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCqGtvTA36k).

Way way way past... Depending on which definition of doomsday
you want to use...

Definition 1: The day IANA issues the last 5 /8s to the RIRs

	By that definition, it is approximately 11:58

Definition 2: The day the first RIR approves but cannot satisfy
	a request for IPv4 addresses due to lack of available addresses
	in RIR inventory with no ability to gain more from IANA.

	By that definition, it is approximately 11:54

Definition 3: The day the first RIR can no longer provide even
	a minimum allocation (APNIC = /24, ARIN = /24, AfriNIC = /24,
		RIPE = /32, LACNIC I'm not sure).

	By that definition, it is approximately 11:45

Definition 4: The day the first RIR can't satisfy a median-sized (for that RIR)
	request.

	By this definition, it is approximately 11:50

Definition 5: The day NO RIR can satisfy a median-sized (for that RIR)
	request.

	By this definition, it is approximately 11:35

Definition 6: The day NO RIR can satisfy any request for IPv4 space.

	By this definition, it is approximately 11:20
