I'm interested to hear from the community:

speaking for myself.

1. Should APNIC produce a list?

Most definitely

1. What purpose does it serve?

full transparency of resources that APNIC is accountable for.

1. What information should be there? Detailed prefix or totals?

detailed per prefix/address block/ASN block as per RIR stats.

1. What are the benefits and risks of showing such information?

Benefits:

1) Community gets to see full state of APNIC and NIR resource pools, esp IPv4 states. This may or may not help IPv6 uptake. It might also provide a way that some policies can then be measured, or policy proposals can be evaluated.

2) APNIC can 'check' the registry data transparency box. :-)

3) while I'm not a fan of bogon lists, especially the type that don't get updated. An authoritative source might make creating such lists easier.

Risks:

I don't believe there are any. There might be an argument about hijacking resources, but really shouldn't that be addressed by RPKI? And since potaroo already has that 'inverse' list wouldn't bad people just use that?

So right now I can't think of any risks.

1. What should the reporting frequency be?

Daily please.
