Google is assisting me with data collection - the analysis of the collected 
traffic is something that I do from time to time, rather than as a continuous 
publication. The last article I wrote on this topic was 
http://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2010-07/dark6.html. It would be good to get some 
time this year to followup and profile the changes that have occurred in the 
intervening period.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This is not a case of reserving the 
addresses, but a case of assigning them to support dark traffic observation, 
and the IETF is not really in the loop here. Please read 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-housley-number-registries/?include_text=1 
for more details on the roles of the IETFG in terms of number reservation.
