Indeed.  

Perhaps (based upon discussion here) the Advisory Council could 
ponder what changes, if any, to number resource policy are needed?

Should ARIN hold them for some period of time before reallocating them?  Should they be put up for auction to qualified organizations?  Should they be given to the 1st organization on a wait-list for 2-byte ASNs?
