This proposal is doing another round of 4-week review phase because of 
a distinct lack of feedback on it (one question, but no support / objection
comments).

There currently is a lack of policy at IANA/ICANN regarding distribution of
"smaller than a /8" address blocks that happen to show up in the IANA pool -
which means that even if such blocks should be found, IANA cannot distribute
them to the RIRs.  Which those of you that still use IPv4 might then be
interested in receiving...

This being a global policy, we don't do word smithing on it (the text should
be the same in all regions), so your choice is easy: support, or objection.

Taking off the WG chair's hat, I think this is necessary housekeeping, and
should be done -> *support*  (this implies that I don't get to decide 
whether we have consensus on this one, but Sander will be the neutral WG 
chair that oversees the process).

Putting the hat back on, I welcome your comments!
