Thank you Interop - for performing an outstanding act of altruism.

John, could you provide more details at this stage on how much address space was returned to ARIN?

INTEROP is retaining 2 /16 blocks for existing usage; i.e. more than 99% of the /8 block is being returned. To the extent that parties have unused address space beyond their usage and foreseeable need, we encourage them to return the space so it may be reissued to those parties with need. This is in keeping with global policies on Internet address space management. /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
