<div>Jason, I agree. At least for the ARIN AC the intent was that the first allocation would be immediately upon activation of Recovered IPv4 Pool and then again in each allocation period.</div>

<div dir="ltr">It seems fairly clear to me that that the policy instructs IANA to make the first allocation immediately upon one RIR dropping below a /9 inventory, and there after must wait until the next 6-month window opens up for subsequent allocations.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The window serves to allow IANA to collect IPs in its <font face="arial,sans-serif">Recovered IPv4 Pool, and then have fixed point in time when the amount of IPs is totaled and divided. At the time the first RIR drops below a /9, IANA will have already
had sufficient time to collect IPs.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial,sans-serif">It also seems obvious to me that, there is a fair bit of complexity in describing this behavior and if the authors desired IANA to wait for the next 6-month window to open, then this policy text would have been much shorter.</font></div>

<div>In short should IANA make an allocation after one RIR dipping below a /9 of inventory or should it wait until the next 6-month period opens up?</div>

Dear Louie,<br>
<br>
As you chair the ASO AC, I am seeking your guidance on the<br>
interpretation of the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation<br>
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><span>1 March</span></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>
