Well here is the rub.  ARDC is not technically competent to manage the blocks
in the first place.  One can see how they bungled the RDNS for 44.0.0.0/9 and
44.128.0.0/10 after the sale causing a world wide 22+ hour outage.  Several
/16 allocations are still down, over 5 days later due to lame delegation.

Someone, anyone, want to get this fixed?

The road to hell is paved in good intentions.
Hey mama, look at me, I'm on my way to the promised land, whoo!
