NIC.BR, the Brazilian NIR, does exactly that... they've given out about
200 INOC-DBA phones with ASNs in the last three years. NetNod does the
same in Sweden, and the WAIA does the same in Australia... All told I
think about 500 of the INOC-DBA phones out there were given out in that
manner, though not by RIRs per se.

Probably not, actually... To the best of my knowledge, the RIRs pretty
much all run budget surpluses that they can't get membership agreement as
to what to do with.
