I'm jumping in a bit late but this is sheer baloney. (I'd use a stronger word 
if I could)

I have used the block 199.248.255.0/24 previously on this list in the past as 
an example of ARIN's nonsense when it comes to reclaiming old blocks and to 
embarrass John Curran when he claims ARIN is cleaning house.

This block is NET-199-248-255-0-1

It has 2 POCs on it that state right in the ARIN database that they are 
currently unvalidated.  So already it is in violation of the NRPM
 …

Ted -

To my knowledge, the Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM, i.e. 
https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm/ ) does not presently provide for 
ARIN performing reclamation of address blocks assigned to an organization that 
has no valid POCs – it provides that such organizations "will be unable to 
access further functionalities within ARIN Online” and cannot be receiving 
organization for a reallocation or detailed reassignment. (NRPM 3.6.5 and NRPM 
3.7 respectively)

If you’d like ARIN to take particular action on address blocks with no valid 
POCs, please propose policy specifying the actions for community consideration 
and potential adoption.   You can find more information on submission of policy 
proposals here - https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/pdp/appendix_b/

Thanks!
