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.

Upon expiration of the hold period and in the absence of a Global Policy or Globally Coordinated Policy directing otherwise, legacy resources returned to ARIN will be made available for allocation to ARIN members. Rationale: Adopting this proposal will result in the clarification of the status of returned legacy addresses. There either is a global policy, a globally coordinated policy, or there isn't. If there isn't, the addresses will not sit idle if there is need. The ARIN AC should review and determine what action if any should be taken at their next available opportunity, or sooner if they deem warranted.
