The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent regularly scheduled meeting).

The IANA IPv4 free pool has now dropped to 12 /8s, or 4.69%. The IPv4 free pool dipped below 10% in January, just nine months ago. Since then, over 200 million IPv4 addresses have been allocated from IANA to the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). The number of IPv4 allocations is expected to grow by only 8% this year. In contrast, the five RIRs are expected to allocate over 2,000 IPv6 address blocks, representing an increase of over 70% on the number of IPv6 allocations in 2009. These statistics indicate an absence of any last minute "rush" on IPv4 addresses and a strong momentum behind the adoption of IPv6. When the IANA IPv4 free pool has only five /8 blocks remaining, they will be simultaneously distributed to the five RIRs in accordance with global Internet number resource distribution policy. This means that only seven blocks remain to be handed out under the normal distribution method. At current depletion rates, the last five IPv4 address blocks will be allocated to the RIRs in early 2011. The pressure to adopt IPv6 is mounting. Many worry that without adequate preparation and action, there will be a chaotic scramble for IPv6, which could increase Internet costs and threaten the stability and security of the global network. ARIN encourages you to deploy IPv6 now. Visit https://www.arin.net/knowledge/v4-v6.html for more information on IPv6 adoption, or contact us at info at arin.net with any questions.

The ITU Plenipotentiary, held every four years, represents the highest authoritative body of the ITU. During this critical meeting, also known as PP10, Member States (there are 193 sovereign nation members) will determine the ITU's policy and strategic direction for the next four years. Representatives from AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, and LACNIC have been present at the PP-10 and are actively engaging with governments on the resolutions relevant to the global Internet community, particularly as it pertains to the increasing interest of the ITU and some Member States in the management and distribution of Internet number resources. The meeting is in it's final week where proposals are being brought to the plenary for readings and approval. As much of the documentation is restricted to member internal use (ARIN is a sector member) it is not possible to share much detail at this point. An information page has been created on the NRO website to inform the global Internet community on the resolution topics. To learn more, visit: http://nro.net/governance/2010-itu-guadalajara.html Until the meeting ends on Friday you can follow what is happening at PP-10 on Twitter, there are two key Twitter hashtags in use: #PP10 and #adhocInternet.

Interop was originally allocated a /8 before ARIN's existence and the availability of smaller-sized address blocks. The organization recently realized it was only using a small portion of its address block and that returning the remainder to ARIN would be for the greater good of the Internet community. ARIN will accept the returned space and not reissue it for a short period, per existing operational procedure. After the hold period, ARIN will follow global policy at that time and return it to the global free pool or distribute the space to those organizations in the ARIN region with documented need, as appropriate. With less than 5% of the IPv4 address space left in the global free pool, ARIN warns that Interop's return will not significantly extend the life of IPv4. ARIN continues to emphasize the need for all Internet stakeholders to adopt the next generation of Internet Protocol, IPv6.
