It's not out of the question, I guess, that NARALO could participate, as a body, in the RIR pdp. On Sun, Jan 27, 2013 at 8:34 PM, Eric Brunner-Williams < ebw@abenaki.wabanaki.net> wrote:

If IANA tried to tell the RIRs what to do with the returned blocks, there wouldn't be any more returned blocks.
Address policy is developed by the RIRs. This is one of the significant differences between ICANN "names" policy development, which is without any geographic locus (other than the obvious one in Marina del Rey), or "global" (with the equally obvious caveats on what "global" might, or might not mean) and ICANN "address" policy development.
Of all the ICANN bylaws entities I've paid attention to over the life of the Corporation, the distributed policy development of At Large regions (in theory) and that of the RIRs, are most similar.
