Suggestion:<br>
</span></b>Under the "Number Resources" heading of the ARIN
navigation bar there should be a "Return Resources" option,
explaining the process to return unused resources. If someone
wants to return resources it shouldn't really be that hard to find
out how to do it.<br>
</p>
<br>
There was even a previous suggestion 2011.4 where someone obviously
couldn't figure out how to return resources.<br>

<br>
It is in the interest of the entire ARIN community that people who
want to return resources can figure out how do so extremely easily.<span

Thank you for your suggestion, which was numbered 2014.1 upon
receipt. You raise a very valid point about the fact that the
procedure for returning resources to ARIN is not prominent enough on
our website.<br>
<br>
We are now working on correcting this issue and are going to make
some changes to our website so that this information is easier to
find, as well as more accessible throughout the Resources section of
the website.<br>
<br>
ARIN will keep this suggestion open until it is completed.<br>
<br>

<br>
The dropdown menu under "Number Resources" has been modified to
include a "Manage and Return Resources" tab. Content has been added
to that page to clarify the process for modifying and returning
resources. We believe these updates satisfy this suggestion, and it
is now closed.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
