Found a /24 sitting in ARIN's waiting room under some defunct "Midwest Data Systems" Org ID from 1994. Legacy space, no POC updates since 2019. Just sitting there like a free lunch for whoever files first.
Thought about going for it but the paperwork looks like a skill issue. Anyone actually won one of these?

I heard someone waited three years. Then lost it to a faster filer. Is that common...

Actually, the waiting room is not a queue but a public notice period under Section 4.2 of the NRPM. RFC 7020 defines the registry stability requirements. ARIN staff process in order of completeness, not submission timestamp. Incomplete filings restart the review.

Three years? Arin backlog that bad or they just kept filing wrong
Skill issue is real. Did one in 2021, still twitching
