If we want to manage addresses this way, we should first endeavor to pass a globally coordinated policy to the effect that multiregional organizations should solicit the registry in their headquarters' region for all registry-direct number resources rather than soliciting the registry that serves the region where the resources are employed.

I have a better idea:

For IPv4, realize that really really soon, this isn't going to matter.

For IPv6, realize that it almost never matters.

I have no problem with someone getting a nice big IPv6 block from one convenient local RIR, and then splitting it up across their multinational organization however they see fit. If they plan well, they *never* come back to *any* RIR for address space.

Meanwhile, why are we still discussing IPv4 policy at all?
