The proposal has "some" language to address placeholders:


" Any pending request submitted prior to that moment will continue to be
eligible for a twelve month supply of addresses as long as need is
established within thirty days of that moment."


The language around need could be improved to tighten that up further if
warranted. The time extension is to provide for staff questions and
applicant responses such as requesting additional justification related
specifically to what was provided and not for time to develop need.

I do see a problem with an entity sending ARIN an incomplete application.
The intent of the proposal is to apply it to bona-fide resource applications
only. 

Best,
