E.g Policy describing the minimum block of IPs for distribution in Africa is so local that it need not be the same as that of Europe. A globally oriented policy maybe like a Policy attempt to describe what to do with legacy IPs in light of the diminishing IPv4 - trying to do this locally is possibly, but doing it globally is better (and more effective).<br><br>So in my view, if a global policy has been rejected - it makes no sense trying to accept it locally/regionally since it's original intention must have been "global" - by design. And I think this make our work easier - just add one clause in the existing PDP framework to simply "park" locally created global policies that failed to meet global acceptance.<br><br>walu.<br><br>--- On
