Mechanisms by the IANA, which was ratified in May 2012.<br><br>The global policy defines states that "Allocations from the IANA may<br>begin once the pool is declared active." It is not clear whether this<br>means that allocation from the Recovered IPv4 Pool should be made<br>
straight away or whether they should happen at the start of the next<br>"IPv4 allocation period," the "6-month period following <span class="" tabindex="0">1 March</span> or 1<br>September."<br>
<br>We hope you can advise us on the intended meaning of this sentence, so<br>that we can implement the policy appropriately.<br><br>We look forward to receiving your response on this question of<br>interpretation of the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation<br>
Mechanisms by the IANA.<br><br>Kind regards,<br><br>Leo Vegoda<br>ICANN<br></blockquote><div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- </div><font color="#555555" face="'courier new', monospace"><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><font color="#555555" face="'courier new', monospace">_______________________________________________________<br>
