[arin-ppml] PP 124 Preliminary Info Was: Re: Advisory Council Meeting Results - December 2010

[Martin Hannigan]

Folks,

One minor additional piece of information for the rationale below. The
inventory numbers are increased by about 32 million addresses as a
result of the disclosure by ARIN with respect to current inventory.
I've included the last /8. I've also included the InterOp /8. The
global policy dealing with returns to the IANA is not a slam dunk nor
is it unlikely that someone would suggest and possible succeed
proposing policy that would require address space held in inventory to
be released if it wasn't disposed of by another means such as global
policy.

Best,

-M<
