[address-policy-wg] 2010-05 New Policy Proposal (Global Policy for IPv4 Allocation by the IANA post exhaustion)

I see.  So, what exactly prevents something like this from happening:

Day 1:  0 RIRs eligible, 125.4M addresses in RP
Day 2:  RIR «Red» depletes its inventory, now only RIR eligible for RP
Day 3:  RIR «Red» requests and receives its 125.4M/1 share of the RP
Day 4:  RIR «Blue» depletes its inventory, but can't receive anything
        from the now-empty RP.  Repeat for remaining three RIRs.

Best regards,
