Am I the only one who thinks this 'clench' is rather absurd especially right after one company pretty much got 1/4th of all remaining address space when there's such an insane crunch looming?

Regardless of how large / important they are, that is.

If anything, this is just gonna make things more difficult for smaller companies while larger ones roam free.

region.

    There are some changes to processing of requests as we enter this final 
phase,
    and obviously service providers ought to be thinking about IPv6-based

Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Enters Phase Four of the IPv4 Countdown Plan
Date: April 23, 2014 at 10:00:20 AM GMT-3
To: arin-annou...@arin.net<mailto:arin-annou...@arin.net>

ARIN is down to its final /8 of available space in its inventory and has moved 
into Phase Four of its IPv4 Countdown Plan. All IPv4 requests are now subject 
to Countdown Plan processes, so please review the following details carefully.

All IPv4 requests will be processed on a "First in, First out" basis, and all 
requests of any size will be subject to team review, and requests for /15 or larger will 
require department director approval. ARIN's resource analysts will respond to tickets as 
they appear chronologically in the queue. Each ticket response is treated as an 
individual transaction, so the completion time of a single request may vary based on 
customer response times and the number of requests waiting in the queue. Because each 
correspondence will be processed in sequence, it is possible that response times may 
exceed our usual two-day turnaround.

The hold period for returned, reclaimed, and revoked blocks is now reduced to 
60 days. All returned, revoked, and reclaimed IPv4 address space will go back 
into the available pool when the 60 day period has expired. Staff will continue 
to check routing/filtering on space being reissued and will notify recipients 
if there are issues.

When a request is approved, the recipient will have 60 days to complete payment 
and/or an RSA. On the 61st day, the address space will be released back to the 
available pool if payment and RSA are not completed.

We encourage you to visit the IPv4 Countdown Phase Four page at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/request/countdown_phase4.html

ARIN may experience situations where it can no longer fulfill qualifying IPv4 
requests due to a lack of inventory of the desired block size. At that time, 
the requester may opt to accept the largest available block size or they may 
ask to be placed on the Waiting List for Unmet Requests. Full details about 
this process are available at:

https://www.arin.net/resources/request/waiting_list.html

Please contact hostmas...@arin.net or our Help Desk +1.703.227.0660 if you have 
questions about these procedural changes.

Leslie Nobile
