Re: quietly....

[George Herbert <george.herbert () gmail com>]

The last 5 are, by existing agreement, to be allocated 1 per Regional
registry immediately after the other /8s are exhausted.  This was
agreed to some time ago to ensure that no regional was disadvantaged
by timing concerns on applications for space as the IANA exhaustion
approached.

As that has now happened, all that awaits is for the announcement of
which RIR got which remaining /8.  "Immediate" doesn't mean today this
instant, but by agreement, they're effectively all gone right now.

The large woman has walked on stage and is awaiting the orchestra
director's starting the music.
