Shouldn't 23.128.0.0/10 be put back into the pool? Ripe finished their test and this was a loaned block. Also with 16 million addresses in their reserved pool, did they really need to borrow this in the first place?? https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/has-the-routability-of-longer-than-2...

The IPv4 free pool for the ARIN region is now depleted; ISPs are encouraged to utilize IPv6 for additional customer growth and the IPv4 transfer market for their IPv4 interim needs.

On 24 September 2015, ARIN issued the final IPv4 addresses in its free pool. ARIN will continue to process and approve requests for IPv4 address blocks. Those approved requests may be fulfilled via the Wait List for Unmet IPv4 Requests, or through the IPv4 Transfer Market.
For information on the Waiting List, visit: https://www.arin.net/resources/request/waiting_list.html
For information on IPv4 Transfers, visit: https://www.arin.net/resources/transfers/index.html
Exhaustion of the ARIN Free Pool does trigger changes in ARIN's Specified Transfer policy (NRPM 8.3) and Inter-RIR Transfer policy (NRPM 8.4). In both cases, these changes impact organizations that have been the source entity in a specified transfer within the last twelve months:
"The source entity (-ies within the ARIN Region (8.4)) will be ineligible to receive any further IPv4 address allocations or assignments from ARIN for a period of 12 months after a transfer approval, or until the exhaustion of ARIN's IPv4 space, whichever occurs first."
Effective today, because exhaustion of the ARIN IPv4 free pool has occurred for the first time, there is no longer a restriction on how often organizations may request transfers to specified recipients.
In the future, any IPv4 address space that ARIN receives from IANA, or recovers from revocations or returns from organizations, will be used to satisfy approved requests on the Waiting List for Unmet Requests. If we are able to fully satisfy all of the requests on the waiting list, any remaining IPv4 addresses would be placed into the ARIN free pool of IPv4 addresses to satisfy future requests.
ARIN encourages customers with questions about IPv4 availability to contact hostmaster@arin.net or the Registration Services Help Desk at +1.703.227.0660.

John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
