Hi Joe,

Then before we talk about what a draconian address recovery policy
looks like, perhaps we should consider the circumstances under which
such a policy should be employed.

My thought is that a darp should be activated when all of the
following conditions are met:

1. IANA has allocated the last /8 to an RIR
2. ARIN is unable to meet a qualified request for a /18 or larger.
3. The BoT determines that blocks of ARIN-managed IP addresses of /24
and larger are not generally available for purchase via the transfer
market for less than $10/address.

Your thoughts?

Regards,
Bill Herrin
