Thanks Tore,

A similar concern was raised by folks in the APNIC region and we (the
group of authors) are currently discussing some possible changes or
additional text to prevent this scenario. We were originally operating
under the impression that eligible RIRs would already be in line
waiting for space before it was returned.

Please let me know if you would like to join the authors group, we
would appreciate your ideas on how to make the proposed policy better.
