The ARIN Advisory Council (AC) will review the proposal at their next regularly scheduled meeting (if the period before the next regularly scheduled meeting is less than 10 days, then the period may be extended to the subsequent regularly scheduled meeting). The AC will decide how to utilize the proposal and announce the decision to the PPML. The AC invites everyone to comment on the proposal on the PPML, particularly their support or non-support and the reasoning behind their opinion. Such participation contributes to a thorough vetting and provides important guidance to the AC in their deliberations.

Rationale: During the attempted fix of Section 4.10 we had consensus that 4.10 was insufficient and potentially damaging and unbalanced with respect to transition efforts. In order to enable the community to work to fix this problem in a responsible manner, we need to insure that we do not break the Internet or cause unnecessary hardship or cost to underserved markets. This policy will protect those resources with a reasonable amount of reserved v4 address space. This proposal should be considered an emergency proposal. IANA exhaustion is likely to occur prior to the next ARIN meeting.
