We are currently in Phase One and the slides state there is a 6 month 
hold period in effect, in Phase Two this drops to 3 month, and in Phase 
Three according to the above the hold period will be 1 month.  Is that 
the correct phasing of the hold period?

Does this apply to IPv4 only or is the same hold period applied to other 
resource types?

If it doesn't apply to the other resource types what is the hold period 
for the other resource types?

Thanks
