[address-policy-wg] Policy proposal 2009-01

Well if all we're discussing is "crumbs" then what's the point?  Writing a
policy to force regions to give back "crumbs"?

I do feel that it's a good idea to enable IANA to have a mechanism to hand
out the crumbs.  Soon that's all that will be left.

What's wrong with making the returning of the crumbs to IANA a regional
decision and giving IANA the ability to hand them out to RIRs if it gets
them?

Just a thought.
