Most, if not all RIRs have a process for address recycling with appropriate hold-down times and grace periods for the resource holder to act to preserve their claim on the resources. It seems to me that lining this up with those procedures can be left as an operational manner at the discretion of staff, but I wouldn’t be opposed to specific minimums being elaborated in policy if people feel that is needed. Staff should always be given the flexibility to accommodate entities staff believes to be acting in good faith, IMHO and the unintended consequences of any hard maximum time limits in policy could, be dire.
