The RIRs Recognize the Need for Forecasting
Continuing need to further refine projections.
Need for forward-looking proactive forecasting on a regular basis not only for AS numbers, but also for route table entries and IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
Forecasting needs to incorporate allocation data from all three RIRs (APNIC, ARIN, RIPE NCC).
Forecasting needs to be institutionalized by the RIRs themselves, with data readily available to independent researchers.
