The whole site will go static, that includes the ULA list. The ULA registry was always a inside-joke as they are randomly generated they should never collide. As the page states: 8<----- ULAs were not intended to be registered in any way, it could still be that somebody generates the same prefix and when not checking here, they might use it. ----->8 People who have a need for a globally unique registered prefix, should go to the RIRs where they can get one. Page also notes: 8<----- This file can be cached by other entities, solving any reachability issues, and for archival and redundancy purposes. We hope that one day either IANA/NRO can serve a similar list along with whois and DNS delegations and will provide them full assistance to do so when the time comes. --------->8 Thus plead with them to take it over. I am fairly confident they will point people to the RIRs though. Greets, Jeroen
