Leo, thanks for the numbers. How about the rest of the information requested? On Friday, August 15, 2003, at 11:17 AM, leo vegoda wrote:

I have not seen any description of the background, relevant data available (types of PI requests, for instance) and general problem categorisation.
Maybe we can ask leo to produce some data here ?
I've run through our statistics and have some data for you.
About 89% of requests are for End Users, about 5.4% of requests are for the LIRs' own infrastructure, about 2.5% are for IXPs and another 2.5% are closed by the LIR sending the request before it's clear who will use the space.
This data, which I would guess the TF had access to, puzzles me when I re-read your summary posted earlier, specifically point 3. 3. No longer assign PI (Portable) address space to End Users - There some support for to this point. The issue of Root DNS Servers was raised but it was noted that all Root DNS Servers operating in this region already have address assignments. 89% of the requests seems to be an indication of a need for this type of assignments, yet there seems to be "some support" to end it. Can we have a look at the arguments that were discussed about this subject? Can we, in general, have more background on the arguments that were for and against the different options during the TF's work?
I hope this is helpful.
Yes, it is helpful, but more data ought to be released for a proper understanding of the problem to be possible, I believe. Joao Damas
