I will try to explain my reasoning for supporting this proposal once more:

1) The previous global policy referred to above had two very distinct
provisions; to allow IANA to accept and re-allocate space and to
mandate that all space returned to all RIRs was returned to IANA.
2) The policy that I helped write, under discussion here, addresses
the former provision.
3) This new policy proposal in no way precludes another proposal to
address the latter provision if folks feel that is the correct course
of action. In fact it likely facilitates it.

We (the co-authors/contributers) see the absolute need for IANA to be
able to accept and distribute IPv4 space post free-pool depletion and
we see that the previous proposal appears to be at an impasse. Hence
this proposal.

Thus, the fact that the previous proposal has not been adopted
globally is actually the very reason that we need this policy. It is
not, as the OP seems to suggest, a reason not to adopt this proposal.

Cheers,
~Chris
