[ppml] Policy Proposal: Resource Reclamation Incentives

[Keith W. Hare]

I've seen a lot of discussion over the last couple of days about legacy
address space reclamation and whether or not legacy address holders are
paying their fair share to support ARIN.

The thing I haven't seen are any numbers.

How many legacy address blocks exist that are large enough to be useful
to ARIN?

If there are enough address blocks to be useful to ARIN, then it may be
worth enhancing incentives.

This discussion of reclamation incentives has also generated a lot of
discussion about legacy address holders who have not signed an RSA and
do not pay ARIN anything.  However, I have not seen anything about how
many legacy address holders exist.  

Numbers would be useful to help decide whether the proposed change is
worth making.
