<p>Noah,</p>
<p>There is an hierarchy regarding the legacy space:<br>
</p>
<p>1. Legacy Space as a whole<br>
</p>
<p>2. Idle Legacy Space [There are indeed legacy spaces in use, and
not idle]<br>
</p>
<p>3. Hijacked and now recovered Idle legacy Space. [There are some
legacy spaces that can never be reclaimed by their initial
allotees, probably because they are out of business, and there is
no successor organization]<br>
</p>
<p>I presume you are talking about 2 and 3. I am talking about 1.<br>
</p>
<p>Perhaps we should look at addressing 1, 2, & 3.</p></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes we look at addressing all and discussions can be moved to the PDWG and/or DBWG where there are some discussions around whowas because it would help to know the history behind the space in case an entity is to show up claim ownership.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">AFRINIC should equally be accountable as a registry and I believe we are on the right trajectory.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Noah</div></div>
