It would be interesting to see that list,
but I don't have an immediate need for it.
> 2. What purpose does it serve?
don't know for sure, since I don't have the need for it right now.
> 3. What information should be there? Detailed prefix or totals?
My favor would be totals
> 4. What are the benefits and risks of showing such information?
showing detailed prefix info may lead to usage like the 1.2.3.0/24
space, which people will do anyways without the list, but it might
lower the hurdles of misuse. Having detailed information may be helpful
to researchers or people who love stats, but I don't know how it would
help LIRs. (clue bat please)
Showing the totals may help in letting everyone in the region know just
how much there is left, which may be valuable info to people who are
thinking about asking for an allocation and are considering when is the
best time to do so. I don't see any risk here.
> 5. What should the reporting frequency be?
don't know.
