I'm not sure how ARIN staff does this now. However, if this is what we
want, it is usually better for it to be clearly stated in the policy.

The idea of this policy is to have a default action of replenishing these
reserved pools only when or if they get down to a three-year or less
supply. Until then, other recovered resources go to the waiting list. Even
then the idea is to only replenish them to or maintain a three year supply
in the reserved pools, any resources recovered beyond that would still go
to the waiting list.

Without this policy, when or if these reserved pools get low, we will just
let them run out unless we have a consensus for a policy to change things
at that time. However, I would like default action to be to replenish the
reserved pools when or if they get low unless there is consensus at that
time to let them run out, requiring policy action at that time if we want
them to let them run out.

As for the current status of these pools; the following is from the ARIN 44
meeting report, at the beginning of November, in response to a question
during the discussion of ARIN-2019-17;

John Sweeting:  John Sweeting, ARIN staff. I think I'm going to answer
Joe's question. So in the 4.10 pool, the IP pool -- sorry, Cathy -- there
are 15,727 /24s left. 657 have been used over the time since it was
implemented. And it puts about an average between 10 and 15 a month.

On the 4.4, there's 123 issued. 389 left and about 1.5 per month. So maybe
15, 18 a year.

4.10 pool;
   15,727 /24s left
   15 /24s a month
   This is more than 80 years worth at that rate of use, but I expect the
rate of use will increase for this pool.

4.4 pool;
   389 /24s left
   1.5 /24s a month
   This is more than 20 years worth at that rate of use.

So this policy is not expected to have any effect for many years unless
there is a dramatic increase in the use of these pools.
