If an ASN was assigned years ago and hasn't appeared in the RIB for the past year that ASN should be reclaimed. Send warning emails to the registered contacts as well as to the assigning LIR and after 3 months - just reclaim it.It's a bit dated now, but the RIPE report, ASN MIA, sounds like what you're looking for... www.apnic.net/meetings/21/docs/sigs/routing/routing-pres-uijterwaal-asn-mia.pptWhen I look at this more recently, the conclusion still seems to be valid: we'll run out of 16 bit ASN's somewhere in 2011 to 2013. There are a lot of unused ASN's out there. Recovering them will postpone the problem by a few years but it won't solve it. The basic problem with recovery is how to decide if an ASN is really no longer used/needed. There is (still) no mechanism to do this. Henk
How about just nailing everyone who has invalid contact info? That would certainly be incentive to get it updated. Nothing else seems to work.
