Good Morning,
I agree with the three global policies (listed below) that have been
proposed for adoption. ICANN should only distribute address
space to a
recognized RIR. It is imperative that the RIR approve all
address space
within their region to ensure proper utilization. Any organization
should submit a request for address space to their RIR. The
RIR's will
be unable to ensure proper utilization if organizations are able
to
obtain address space by bypassing their RIR

Proposed Global Policy
There are three global policies presented herein that are proposed for
adoption, as identified below.
(1) The ICANN distributes address space only to a recognized RIR
and
does not
make allocations or assignments directly to any other organization.
(2) If ICANN, or its affiliates or subordinate entities, is in
need of
address space for its own use, a request will be made to the RIR
responsible for the region wherein the ICANN (or the requesting entity)
resides. Appropriate criteria, according to established guidelines,
must
be
met in order to receive an allocation.
(3) If ICANN receives a request directly from another organization,
the
requesting entity will be referred to the appropriate RIR.
