John,

I think that is completely constant with the intent of ARIN-2011-3 that 
provided for /36 initial allocations.  I assume the 3 month timetable 
still applies for the return of the other 15/16ths of the /32?

I'm interested to know if the 3 month timetable is a problem for any of 
the 234 that this seems to effect?  If necessary, I think a one-time 
policy could be put together quickly to extend the timetable for the 
return if this is real a problem for anyone.  If its not a problem for 
anyone then we don't need to clutter the NRPM up with it.  But, if this 
is a real problem that needs policy then we to get a proposal in ASAP.

Thanks
