But the RIRs are the ones fielding requests for IPv4 space, and have some notion of how policy implementation might work in practice, so should have a lot of useful input. On March 14, 2022 at 00:45 niels=nanog@bakker.net (Niels Bakker) wrote:

Personally I'd rather hear from the RIRs regarding the value or not of making more IPv4 space such as 240/4 available. They're on the front lines of this.
You've got your policy development process diagram upside down. The community decides what the RIRs implement. They're not in touch with merchant silicon manufacturers.
