Changed text: was the split of a sentence.

3.) Returning Address Space to the IANA
 

The IANA will accept into the Reclamation Pool all eligible IPv4 address
space that are offered for return. Eligible address space includes addresses
that are not designated as "special use" by an IETF RFC or addresses
allocated to RIR's unless they are being returned by the RIR that they were
orignally allocated to. Legacy address holders may return address space
directly to the IANA if they so choose.

Changed text: Mechanical error allowing for quarterly distribution and a
maximum draw by any RIR of /8

4.) Address Allocations from the Reclamation Pool by the IANA
 

Allocations from the Reclamation Pool may begin once the pool is declared
active. Addresses in the Reclamation Pool will be allocated on a CIDR
boundary equal to or shorter than the longest minimum allocation unit of all
RIRs in order to complete these allocations.The Reclamation Pool will be
divided on CIDR boundaries and distributed evenly to all eligible RIRs. Any
remainder not evenly divisible by the number of eligible RIRs based on a
CIDR boundary equal to or shorter than the longest minimum allocation unit
of all RIRs will remain in the Reclamation Pool. Addresses that are left
over will be held in the Reclamation Pool until additional IP addresses can
be returned to rejoin addresses on CIDR boundaries to the Reclamation Pool
or a minimum allocation unit is set to allow allocation from existing
inventory.

Changed text: Allowed for austerity/soft landing exceptions of up to /10

 5.) RIR Eligibility for Receiving Allocations from the Reclamation Pool
 

Upon the exhaustion of an RIR's free space pool and after receiving their
final /8 from the IANA[3], an RIR will become eligible to request address
space from the IANA Reclamation Pool when it publicly announces via its
respective global announcements email list and by posting a notice on its
website that it has exhausted its supply of IPv4 address space. Exhaustion
is defined as an inventory of less than the equivalent of a single /8 and
the inability to further assign address space to its customers in units
equal to or shorter than the longest of any RIR's policy defined minimum
allocation unit. Any RIR that is formed after the ICANN Board of Directors
has ratified this policy is not eligible to utilize this policy to obtain
IPv4 address space from the IANA.
