Re: ARIN Region IPv4 Free Pool Reaches Zero

[Bryan Socha via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

Shouldn't 23.128.0.0/10 be put back into the pool?   Ripe finished their
test and this was a loaned block.     Also with 16 million addresses in
their reserved pool, did they really need to borrow this in the first
place??
