ARIN will follow global policy at that time and return it to the global free pool or distribute the space to those organizations in the ARIN region with documented need, as appropriate.
i know the us has the world series, but global > arin region
The problem is that we haven't been able to get a global policy for returned address space, i.e. IANA has no policy on how to assign less than full /8's. The first global policy 2009-3 did not reach consensus on the same text in all regions, and 2010-10 is still under discussion. So, there's no way to know if there's a global policy which would allow the space to be returned to the IANA, but I'm optimistic... /John
