Description: Publish certain details of IPv4 waiting list<br>
Value to Community: ARIN should publish certain details of the
waiting list so that people can make educated decisions about their
IPv4 planning (to the extent IPv4 planning remains relevant).<br>
Apologies for the syntactical ugliness, but < and > are not
allowed in suggestions so had to be replaced with ( and ),
respectively.<br>
I propose that each waiting list entry be published with only the
following details: (DATE) (PREFIXLEN)<br>
Where (DATA) is the date the entry was put on the waiting list and
(PREFIXLEN) is the length of prefix being waited for. If the
requestor specified a range, then (PREFIXSHORT)-(PREFIXLONG) should
be shown for (PREFIXLEN)<br>
e.g. 2015-07-05 /20-/24, 2016-04-01 /4-/8, etc.<br>
The benefit to the community is increased transparency in the
management of the queue and a better ability to understand the total
inadequacy of IPv4.<br>
Users logged into AOL who have a place in the queue should have a
marker displayed next to their queue entry "(--You are here" or
equivalent.<span style="font-family:

Thanks for your suggestion, numbered 2015.10 upon confirmed receipt,
to publish certain details of the IPv4 waiting list on the ARIN
website. As it turns out, we had already started work on similar
functionality when your suggestion was submitted. For the most part,
we will be providing data consistent with your suggestion on the
public website. However, ARIN will not be providing functionality
for participants to view their place on the wait list.<br>
We are going to close this suggestion as we have currently have it
in development and will be implemented near the end of August 2015,
as part of the next ARIN Online release.<span
