standards for giving out blocks of IP addresses

charles,

what I was actually trying to convey was that the published policies are
what you have to deal with, not the RFC, and that in particular, some RIR
policies have diverged from 2050.

I have never been employed by an RIR. I simply know/knew enough people on
the inside of one particular RIR to know how things worked in practice.

this may be of interest:

and I suggest you don't publicly flame private emails in future.
