6 | | -In May 2012, the ICANN Board ratified a global policy Global Policy for |
7 | | -Post Exhaustion IPv4 Allocation by IANA. This policy called for the |
8 | | -establishment of a Recovered IPv4 Pool, which contains fragments leftover |
9 | | -in the IANA and space that has been returned to the IANA by other means. |
10 | | -The policy also called for IANA to make allocations from the Recovered |
11 | | -IPv4 Pool once the pool is declared active. |
