Hi.

Why are we talking about 185./8 only? There are many unused allocations bigger than /8 but the NCC doesn't want to pay attention to them.

E.g. If the LIR has the allocation 31./12 (this is for example only, I didn't check what RIR has 31./8 network) and didn't use it during 5 years (or other period) he should return it to the NCC pool or a part of it.

There is 2015-01, that prevents speculations. And I don't see any reasons to implement 2016-03.
