Forgot to mention that this outreach should have included strong messages 
so governments could be aware they should grab enough IPv4 addresses to 
satisfy their needs, in order to become truly independent from their 
current (or future) IP service providers.

Some governments only understood they needed to "own" their share of IPv4 
space when it was too late, and only got small crumbs... :-(

In general, public administration procedures lead to periodic tenders, and 
service providers (ISPs) are likely to change, and renumbering processes 
become unavoidable if you don't "own" PI space, Legacy space our your own 
PA space... ;-)
