The ICANN/NRO MoU specifically states that "global policies are defined … as Internet number resource policies that have the agreement of all RIRs … and ICANN, *and require specific actions or outcomes on the part of IANA or any other external ICANN-related body* in order to be implemented.”

I don’t think governance improvements meet the criteria in the MOU and as such would not qualify as a possible global policy.
