<div>I think the central pool for the returned IP address space should be local for a given time t and there after it can be centralized.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In this case it will be the RIRs to inform IANA that the following have been returned and after the defined time t, the address space can be returned to IANA to be centrally managed, it would be good to have the post depltion as well locally managed.</div>

<div class="Wj3C7c"><br>Alan<br><br>Thanks for the excelent comments, it would be nice if we can hear from some<br>more people. By the way the questions are from another fora and i was<br>curious to gather some ideas a thoughts from the Afrinic community. You are<br>
right about the cross polination of policy makers but I wonder whether in a<br>region like ours where we still have very low participation we might end up<br>adopting policys from other regions colonial style as a result of very low<br>
