Did IANA have to justify this space to ARIN or was it just given to them no questions asked because a draft RFC specified a need for a /10?
see the discussion in PPML/arin-announce... my recollection is something like this happened (paraphrased for the tl/dr crowd): 1) someone wanted more 1918^H^H^Hshared-transition space 2) a policy proposal came to ARIN's PP meeting 3) the policy proposal ran around for a time making friends 4) the proposal passed and the ARIN BoT essentially got a message from IANA/IESG saying: "Hey, before you leap... lookout, perhaps the IETF should weigh in?"
Well, actually, the ARIN board^H^H^H^H^HCEO went to IESG saying "mother may I" would be a more accurate description of the process.
5) an IETF draft was drafted (which later had a baby... so there are 2 versions/parts flying about)
Actually, draft-weil was floated before the ARIN policy proposal IIRC. The other draft (draft-bdgks) came after, essentially in response to the statement by the ARIN board/CEO that getting the policy implemented would require IESG approval.
6) the main draft was finalized and sent along to the RFC editor, and made into a BCP <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-announce/current/msg09959.html> 7) IANA received this /10 from ARIN
Otherwise, yeah, I think that about sums it up. Owen
