option a) - the IANA allocates the Recovered pool straight away Once one of the RIRs reaches less than a /9, the Recovered pool will be divided by 5 and the RIRs will each receive one fifth.

I should probably add that the policy requires the allocations to be "rounded down to the next CIDR (power-of-2) boundary." Consequently, it is likely that the pool would take a number of allocation periods to be fully emptied, depending on whether additional space was returned to it. Kind regards, Leo Vegoda ICANN IANA
