In the absence of global policy on this matter, the RIRs and IANA try to work together in the tradition of the Internet in order to keep things running as smoothly as possible. This is a *feature* not a bug. If you want formal policy in this area, it's very easy to submit a proposal for global number policy to each of the RIRs and that will produce the desired result. One should be realistic about the time requirements to produce uniform global policy; it looks to take about 12 to 18 months from policy initiation to global adoption at present. /John On Jan 22, 2010, at 10:16 AM, William Allen Simpson wrote:

See David's previous post: http://blog.icann.org/2009/09/selecting-which-8-to-allocate-to-an-rir/Because relying on a blog post for policy really meets everybody's definition of rationality.... :-( If you're assigning 2 at the same time, they should be adjacent. The dribbles here and there policy never was particularly satisfying, because it assumes that this was all temporary until the widespread deployment of IPv6.
