The organization "Amateur Radio Digital Communications" (see whois.arin.net) already has 44/8. Anyone that has an ASN can announce this space in full or part as along as this is blessed by the "owner". In fact, I announce /24s and /16 for folks that got their address space also from Jon Postel (pre-ICANN).

I was wondering how that worked for LEGACY. But isn't it sort of a chicken/egg issue? If you have an ASN , you can advertise 44/8. But if you don't, you have to meet the current ARIN standards? So really it's just the legal aspect that needs to be addressed so that the delegates aren't permanently transferred when delegated.

Also I see a hardware aspect that needs to be addressed to make the cloud more robust with multiple core routers in different datacenters around the world should southern california ever take the big drink into the pacific.
