[arin-ppml] Open Petition for ARIN-2020-2

Hi Scott,

Yes, indeed all is well and hope the same for you.

That is a hard question since ARIN receives differing amounts of address space back every month through revocations (primarily for non-payment) and voluntary returns. Another wild card is the huge amount of space that is not under agreement and therefore not susceptible to revocation for non-payment but may be reclaimed due to various scenarios such as fraudulent or criminal activity. There is really no way to predict a timeline for complete exhaustion so the best way to look at this is that if all the if's became true and ARIN issued the each of the 24 possibly eligible organizations a /22 that would take 96 /24's out of that unknown pool, which is equivalent to a /18 and a /19. Sorry but that is really the best we can do without a crystal ball. 

Thanks,
John S.

    Ack, and thanks for the response.  Per my most recent followup, how would 
    the present matter effect the time until exhaustion, at present rate of 
    allocation, if all removed from the waitlist got the requested blocks?
