In the case of the Registries, this means delegating the appropriate /16
or /24s to the organisation which has just received a CIDR allocation from
the Registry; all RIRs have polices for this already in place.
These policies generally allow the RIR to revoke a delegation in order to
protect the RIR's infrastructure. Can this be expressly stated in the
draft as well, ie:
Regional Internet Registries and any Local Registries to whom they
delegate SHOULD establish and convey a policy to those to whom
they delegate blocks that require IN-ADDR mappings. These
policies MAY be used by the Registry to revoke or reject a
delegation that does not meet these stated policies.
( the rest of the original paragraph is then best stated in an additional
paragraph. )
