Speaking as one of the original authors, I would support going through
with the original proposal. The requirement to return space was
essential to the idea behind the policy draft in the first place.

Taking this requirement out renders the policy pointless.

I don't want to load the discussion with notions of "solidarity", but
rather focus on the utility of policies. Which in my view has disappeared
from the ARIN policy text.

cheers, Axel
