3 months. Any thing else can be done on an exception basis. But you better
carefully define "'on-line'"! :)

Again I think 3 months, but as you assuming that this is when the
AS is no longer "'on-line'" ?

I think there should then be a period of non-use [6 months or so?] before
that ASes that are returned get reused, and some form of communications plan
around the re-allocation of an AS. Imagine what might happen when 1755 gets
re-issued? :)
