ARIN Comment

Perhaps there is a message here that ARIN might pick up on some of 
the work done in the IETF PIER WG.  This did produce RFC 2071 on why 
one wants to renumber (coauthored with Paul Ferguson) and RFC 2072 
(my Router Renumbering Guide).  At the time, no one in the WG really 
wanted to go after the application renumbering issues.

I can barely spell HTML -- I'm just trying to get a basic webpage. 
Clearly, I am not the right person to spearhead an effort, but either 
ARIN, or perhaps the RIRs acting as a team, might do well to put out 
additional guidance on renumbering.  After such guidance has been 
available for some time, the RIRs might reexamine their policies and 
see if what evolves as Best Current Practice should enter the 
policies.

Is there active work on RFC 2050 bis?  I haven't heard anything in a while.

AFAIK, there's been no activity in ARIN CLEW for some time.
