[address-policy-wg] 2011-03 New Policy Proposal (Post-depletion IPv4 address recycling)

Hi Roger,

The decision to give returned address space back to IANA is outside the
scope of (this?) allocation policy. The text in this policy however
explicitly leaves room for space to be returned to IANA, instead of just
stating that any and all returned space MUST be placed into the "final /8
pool", which would have been a valid interpretation had the phrase you
quote below not been present - that would block all options to return
space to IANA, which would be bad to have in policy.

Hence the 'the below is only valid for space we already decided is not
going back to IANA'.

Thank you for supporting the policy proposal.

Best

Remco
