Hi Gerry, The wait list system is not really sane. If your need can afford to wait three years to fulfill it with addresses, how does that not say everything that needs to be said about its legitimacy? I'd like to see a concrete proposal along the lines of releasing waitlist addresses to the brokers for sale or directly auctioning them off as they become available. Maybe the mechanics won't work out, but I'd like to see it and consider whether it's a reasonable idea after the details are ironed out. Since these are returned blocks, auctioning them explicitly would also allow bidders to evaluate their reputation history when making an offer rather than getting stuck with whatever random block comes up. In the interests of fairness to the folks who joined the wait list in good faith, perhaps limit the first few auctions to folks already on the waitlist before opening it up to the public at large.
