Why not go after low lying fruit first? If an ASN was assigned years ago and hasn't appeared in the RIB for the past year that ASN should be reclaimed. Send warning emails to the registered contacts as well as to the assigning LIR and after 3 months - just reclaim it.because property is unused publicly does not affect the rights of its owner(s). otherwise old car collector wannabes could have a heyday.
Randy, A. AS numbers are not property. B. If they were property (and they're not), then at least in NANOG's region there are adequate laws regarding escheat of unclaimed property. I interpret this to be what Hank was going for: attempt to contact anyone with a registered but apparently unused AS number and "escheat" the ones that go unclaimed back to the registries. Whether or not this is a worthwhile activity is an entirely different question for which I intentionally decline to offer an opinion. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
