      TID: FMail-W32 2.1.3.7-B20170919       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: CP850 2       MSGID: 2:280/5555 5d95fa21       Hello All,              https://preview.tinyurl.com/y5ghv7eb              Today we allocated the last of our contiguous /22 IPv4 address blocks. We       still have approximately one million addresses available, in the form of /23s       and /24s, and we will continue making /22-equivalent allocations made up of       these smaller blocks. Once we can no longer allocate the equivalent of a /22,       we will announce that we have reached run-out. We expect this to occur in       November 2019.              Following our last update in August, we received a very high number of new LIR       applications. We have now reached a point where the number of LIRs waiting to       be activated is larger than the number of /22-equivalents remaining. This       means that some of these LIRs will only be eligible to request a /24 via the       waiting list by the time they are activated. We alerted these applicants to       this possibility during the application process.              Due to the number of new LIR applications still to be processed, we estimate       that it could be around eight weeks before we get to an application that is       submitted today. To ensure fairness, we are processing all LIR applications       (and IPv4 requests) in the order they were received.              It is important to note that the delay is only with LIR applications - not       IPv4 requests. Existing members can still request their final /22 allocations,       provided we still have addresses available.       More information:                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 19/10 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 229/354 426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5006 5555 292/854 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 423/120 460/58 633/280 640/1384 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 5019/40 5020/545 1042 12000 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426           |
