There are two points to analyze in this proposal:<br>
<br>
- Any returned, reclaimed or revoked addresses that belong originally to<span> </span><br>
the reserved pools to be returned to them. I think this was pretty<span> </span><br>
obvious and was already done this way and wouldn't be necessary to state<span> </span><br>

<div>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.</div>

<div>It is certainly the case that if you wanted ARIN to do something different than that, the alternative would need to be clearly spelt out in policy – the highly obvious nature of returning blocks to their special pools doesn’t necessarily require any specification
in policy, unless it is being done to avoid having such blocks inadvertently become subject to new policy language. </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If this policy doesn't gain consensus, I don't think it is necessary to put the first sentence into policy separately, I agree it is a fairly obvious thing to do. However, having it included in this policy makes it abundantly clear that the second sentence doesn't somehow apply the resources originally allocated from the 4.4 or 4.10 pools. Further, the second sentence, as written, applies to "any other resource", and that phrasing wouldn't make much sense without the first sentence.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
