ARIN-prop-131: Section 5.0 Legacy Addresses

Proposal Originator: Martin Hannigan

Proposal Version: 2.0

Date: 10 February 2011

Proposal type: New

Policy term: Permanent

Policy statement:

Section 5.0 Legacy Addresses

5.1 Returned Legacy Addresses

Legacy IPv4 addresses returned to or recovered by ARIN will be made
available for registration and distribution in the ARIN region within
thirty days of their receipt.


Rationale:

Adopting this proposal will result in the clarification of the status
of returned legacy addresses. IPv4 address resources should not sit
idle due to lack of policy clarity.


Timetable for implementation: Immediately
