[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-21: Reserved Pool Replenishment

[Fernando Frediani]

There are two points to analyze in this proposal:

- Any returned, reclaimed or revoked addresses that belong originally to 
the reserved pools to be returned to them. I think this was pretty 
obvious and was already done this way and wouldn't be necessary to state 
it again. Could the author show that this is not the way it is currently 
done then I am fine to support this part.

- With regards returning any other returned, reclaimed or revoked 
resources that were not from the reserved pools to them, although I see 
the good intent of it I find it difficult to support it as we don't know 
numbers related to this at the present. The numbers of assignments from 
these reserved pools, the amount available and the forecast for it are 
necessary for this analysis.
Also it seems that three-year supply a long time for it to be kept. If 
the numbers mentioned point to the direction of the need of replenishing 
for these pools then the it may be necessary to review and discuss the 
supply time better. Without this information I cannot support this part 
of the proposal yet.

Fernando
