[AfriNIC-rpd] Global Policy for IPv4 Allocations by the IANA Post Exhaustion

[SM]

Hi Steve,

The authors of the Global Policy for IPv4 Allocations by the IANA 
Post Exhaustion proposal are the same as the contributors listed in 
Section 9.  I suggest removing the contributors list.

In Section 1:

   "Does not differentiate any class of IPv4 address space unless otherwise
    defined by an RFC."

Do you mean any such definition in a RFC or is it a specific RFC?

   "Disallow transfers of addresses sourced from the Reclamation Pool
    in the absence of an IPv4 Global Transfer Policy to neutralize
    transfer process inequities across RIR regions."

What do you mean by "neutralize transfer process inequities across 
RIR regions"?

In Section 3:

   'Eligible address space includes addresses that are not designated as
    "special use" by an IETF RFC or addresses allocated to RIR's unless
    they are being returned by the RIR that they were orignally allocated to.'

What do you mean by IETF RFC?  There is a typo for "originally".

   "Any RIR that is formed after the ICANN Board of Directors has ratified
    this policy is not eligible to utilize this policy to obtain IPv4
    address space from the IANA."

Is there a reason for this?

Has this proposal been discussed in other regional policy forums?  If 
so, would it be possible for you to provide a summary of the discussion?

The projected IANA Unallocated Address Pool Exhaustion date is 
currently March 12, 2011.
