The draft policy only applies to the ARIN region at this point as that
is the only place it is being discussed. 

Not speaking for the authors of the policy but as a contributor, I
believe it would be valuable for other RIRs to consider if their
policies would benefit from adding principles to their regional
policies.  There has also been some talk on the ARIN list if a different
version of the policy should be created as a global policy which would
eventually be passed by the ICANN board via the NRO to apply to the IANA
registry.
