ICANN makes allocations from the IANA pools of resources according to the policies that have been established using the Global Policy Development process, which can be found here: http://archive.icann.org/en/aso/aso-mou-attachmentA-29oct04.htm. The current set of policies do not define constraints on what the RIRs can do with the resources allocated to them, so each RIR's policy-making community can make the decisions that are most appropriate for its own context.

Kind regards,
