Hi,

Thank you George for phrasing this so accurately. I fully agree that in case of 
the RIRs there already exists a frame work (address policy) that provides all 
the process needed for this. I am not sure how many big ISPs / LIRs follow this 
discussion, but I expect that there commercial contractual concerns exist 
regarding this and I highly doubt that such companies will follow this 
document's advice, just because it's a standard..
