Re: ARIN recognizes Interop for return of more than 99% of 45/8 address block

ARIN will follow global policy at that time and return it to the
global free pool or distribute the space to those organizations in the
ARIN region with documented need, as appropriate.

i know the us has the world series, but global > arin region

The problem is that we haven't been able to get a global policy
for returned address space, i.e. IANA has no policy on how to 
assign less than full /8's.  The first global policy 2009-3 did
not reach consensus on the same text in all regions, and 2010-10
is still under discussion.

So, there's no way to know if there's a global policy which would
allow the space to be returned to the IANA, but I'm optimistic...

ahh.  my problem.  lack of coffee.  i missed the "OR."  sorry.

i would guess iana would take it.
