See section 12 of the most recent NRPM (aka 2007-14).

I would debate "all", and I would encourage the BoT to rein in staff if 
they even started heading in that direction, but the policy is now in 
place and it was the intent of the proposal's authors that staff _would_ 
soon start reviewing resources that are suspected of being 
under-utilized and/or abandoned.

Getting a jump on this now -- before the pool is depleted and the 
transfer market starts in earnest -- is certainly in the interests of 
the community, because it keeps the "intergovernmental organizations" 
that want to take over address allocations from an easy claim to the 
moral high ground.
