	predating the existance of ARIN, LACNIC, and AFRINIC, i worked
	with the permission of the then IANA and our team reclaimed 14%
	of the total IPv4 space and put it back into the freepool. We 
	could have done more (estimates of another 6-8% were feasable)
	but we ran out of funds and the IANA ceased being the registry
	of first/last resort.

	Time, processes, administrative thinking, and other factors 
	have changed, which lead me to believe that reclaimation - as
	such - will not happen again to any noticable degree.
