It would be best for folks who can return address space=20
to do so as soon as possible, since that space could then
be made available under existing allocation policies. It
is likely that there are many organizations which would=20
qualify under current need-based policy which may not have
any meaningful chance to receive address space post-depletion.

Parties that could return space now and are holding it=20
entirely to profiteer are not envisioned in RFC 2050.
ARIN recognizes that such parties could use the specified
transfer policy to receive compensation despite being able
to return the space, but overall the community recommended
proceeding because the benefit to overall utilization was
deemed worthwhile.=20
