I don't either, provided the legitimate registrants at least make a
reasonable claim of still using them. OTOH, I <i>do</i> want ARIN
to go after "abandoned" address blocks, nearly all of which are
legacy for obvious reasons.<br>

Such reports should go to the head of the queue, but there's enough
abandoned or forgotten space out there, and some that would be
returned if only someone were to ask nicely, that IMHO it's worth
ARIN dedicating some ongoing resources to the task.<br>

What do you think needs to be added to/improved in NRPM 12 for this?<br>
<br>
I'll grant that it's pretty restrictive as it stands, but so far I
haven't seen any complaints from ARIN staff that they can't do what
they need to do.<br>
