The RIR CEO's told the IANA to use their best judgement in making the /8
assignments. This is exactly what happens with each assignment today =20
in any
case, and would have been the same result without that feedback to =20
IANA, i.e.,
what would normally have been a behind the scenes implementation issue =20
has now
been publicly detailed, and I, for one, thank the IANA for their clear =20
and
timely communications on this matter.

This is not formation of global Internet numbering policy, it's =20
implementation
of the existing policy regarding IANA to RIR /8 block assignments. =20
Regardless,
the global nature of the Internet means that we'll all deal with =20
connectivity
issues with these blocks once they're allocated. Any and all efforts =20
that the
networking community can take now to get these blocks cleaned up now =20
would be
most helpful.
