<p class="MsoNormal">Description: Submitter seeks clarification of
ARIN's countdown phases
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.arin.net/resources/request/ipv4_countdown.html">https://www.arin.net/resources/request/ipv4_countdown.html</a>) and
intended operational practices after the ARIN general free pool
becomes empty, implying that we are substantially in a
transfer-only ecosystem.<br>
<br>
Does ARIN remain in Phase 4 of the IPv4 Countdown Plan, and if
not, what is Phase 5?<br>
<br>
Value to Community: There may be policy tweaks or further ACSP
suggestions warranted based on ARIN's operational plans.<br>
