[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2014-16: Section 4.10 Austerity Policy Update

[David Farmer]

+1 to everything below.

However in addition to the currently reserved /10, I would like to 
suggest we also designate any allocations from the IANA recovered IPv4 
pool defined in section 10.5, including the /11 just received as 
reserved for use by this Austerity Policy as well.

If the community wants to do this it would be good to get a clear 
consensus from the community ASAP.  So, if necessary the Board could 
take actions necessary to ensure events don't overtake such a change.

Thanks.
