The day has come

[Hannigan, Martin]

It is highly likely that APNIC has had their application for the last 2 /8's
in the IANA queue for a bit now. It has been a public secret that the
counters are effectively unable to nail the day of exhaustion accurately.

Here is a quote from the ARIN Outside Counsel with regards to IANA
exhaustion:

Steve Ryan, ARIN Counsel:

"The date, frankly, is about to hit you in the head, and it's in January.
And in all likelihood that's when the trigger will occur. You know right now
when the date is. And it could come faster, by the way. It could come very
much faster, depending on the drawdown rate. The drawdown rate is
increasing, not slowing. And, therefore, I don't think we should spend any
energy."
