In LAC region (LACNIC, NIC.br and NIC.mx), the controlled depletion phases
are now complete and the RIR reached 0 available IPv4 addresses, regardless
of request type (new entrants or not, small or large allocations). There is
a continuous reclaim process that from time to time reallocates previously
allocated addresses, or blocks that might come from IANA reclaim process.
For the requests made in 2020(only new entrants up to /22 allowed), odds
are all got or will get their block this year. For the ones requesting this
year, the outlook is not so favorable and it might take years. Or possibly
never.
