I have no comment on the merits of "prop-086: Global Policy for
IPv4 allocations by the IANA post exhaustion"

However, for purposes of clarity, it is ARIN's practice is to return
address space to the IANA, but the ARIN community expressed concern
with making the return of space to the IANA a mandatory policy while
there are RIR's which have abandoned needs-based allocation address
policies who would also be drawing from the returned address space pool.
