If an organization is blocked now by policy of getting the allocation they need, why would significantly increasing ARINs supply be any different than the status quo today. I have no knowledge about it at all but I would be surprised if ARIN or IANA hasn't had conversations with the large Legacy holders about the possibility of releasing some resources. There have been rumors for a couple of years of a whole /8 that is available but of course it is a rumor. Maybe ARIN already knows of significant available IPv4 resources and hasn't shared that info with the Community. As I said I have absolutely no knowledge of this but it only makes sense that conversations with the large Legacy holders have taken place to gauge availability.

As you probably know this is already happening with the IP brokers out there and I could easily see another RIR who is out of resources joining up with significant 3rd party brokers to fill IPv4 needs at market prices worldwide.

Then maybe the discussion we should be having is how to reclaim un-needed IPV4 space.
