I’d be OK with this, but given that there is remaining free pool for these resources, I’m not sure that it isn’t better to have a clear policy that when the resources in these categories are no longer needed, voluntary return to ARIN is expected. Unlike the normal case where freeing up resources may require extraordinary effort and thus some level of incentive, these are micro-allocations made for a specific purpose which is relatively binary… Either that purpose continues to exist or it does not. In case of the latter, the resources should be returned. There is no possibility of legacy issues in these pools, so each of the resources in question is attached to an annual billing. As such, non-renewal should address any abandonment issues.
