<div> Please note that ARIN presently has the equivalent of 2.89 /8's of IPv4</div>
<div> address space in available inventory, and has thus moved into Phase Two</div>
<div> of the IPv4 Countdown Plan. This plan provides for administrative changes</div>
<div> to how requests are processed, including timestamping and serialization of</div>
<div> incoming requests. Please see the attached announcement and referenced</div>
<div> online web pages for additional information.</div>

<div>ARIN now has 3 /8s of available space in its inventory and has moved<br>
into Phase Two of its IPv4 Countdown Plan.<br>
<br>
There are three key changes that are triggered in this phase.<br>
<br>
1. All /16 and larger IPv4 requests will be placed in the IPv4 Review<br>
Team queue, and will be reviewed in the order they were received<br>
according to their timestamp. Because each correspondence will be<br>
processed in sequence, it is possible that response times may exceed the<br>
usual two-day turnaround.<br>
<br>
2. Once a request is approved, the requestor will have 60 days to<br>
complete payment and return a signed RSA (if applicable). If payment and<br>
signed RSA have not been received by the 61st day, the ticket will<br>
automatically close, the address space will be released back into the<br>
available IPv4 pool, and a new request will need to be submitted.<br>
<br>
NOTE: This change to the approval window from 90 days to 60 days will<br>
apply to all IPv4 requests, but not to IPv6 and ASN requests.<br>
<br>
3. The hold time for all returned, reclaimed and revoked IPv4 resources<br>
will be reduced from six to three months.<br>
<br>
Phase 2 will provide ARIN staff operational experience using the team<br>
review approach to ensure that these processes and procedures are<br>
effective for managing the distribution of the last of its IPv4 address<br>
pool.<br>
<br>
