I will try to explain my reasoning for supporting this proposal once more: 1) The previous global policy referred to above had two very distinct provisions; to allow IANA to accept and re-allocate space and to mandate that all space returned to all RIRs was returned to IANA. 2) The policy that I helped write, under discussion here, addresses the former provision. 3) This new policy proposal in no way precludes another proposal to address the latter provision if folks feel that is the correct course of action. In fact it likely facilitates it. We (the co-authors/contributers) see the absolute need for IANA to be able to accept and distribute IPv4 space post free-pool depletion and we see that the previous proposal appears to be at an impasse. Hence this proposal. Thus, the fact that the previous proposal has not been adopted globally is actually the very reason that we need this policy. It is not, as the OP seems to suggest, a reason not to adopt this proposal. Cheers, ~Chris
