Ripe605 made a recall from memory of discussions on the ppml probably around the time I started participating on the list.<br>
I simply have not made the time to dig back in the archives to refresh my memory....I do remember a lengthy community discussion about legacy holders and keeping resources within the region....of course things have changed since then and I have been listening attentively to the recent exchanges about inter RIR transfers....which I suspect may continue to evolve after runout whilst the transition to ipv6 remains slower than we would all ideally like to see....but there is a suggestion that the reassignments ecosystem needs some kind of ongoing monitoring mechanism.</p>

<div>It's actually a fairly complicated question, since there are many legacy holder who already </div>

<div>We do know that many folks are quite good about making updates before they request </div>
