Hi,
Thanks Badru for posing these questions. I offer some answers that
are my personal opinion only, meant as a straw man. I am no expert and
participate for discussion purposes and learning.

1. Should the RIRs jointly undertake policies or practices to

depletion of the free pools of the IANA or RIRs?
I think that the answer has to be yes. Is it possible for it to be no?
I don't think that they necessarily need to be uniform policies but
there must be - and already are - such policies, I believe.
a. Should a central pool be created to gather returned IP address
space?
No, I think this should be handled by each RIR.
How should this pool be administered and managed? Should this be
established by an inter-RIR policy?
No, at this stage I think we consider some cases.
b. Is there a deleterious effect caused by the adoption of
differing
transfer policies in some regions that are more liberal than those
that
currently exist in the regions?
This needs to be phrased in plain english but I attempt a response.
I think that there will be a "deleterious effect" if some RIRs are
dictated to by other RIRs. This will basically make things very
difficult as members lose control of their own policy making roles and
responsibilities. So it will be far better to allow each RIR their
own policy, although in my experience there is a sufficient cross
pollination of policy makers to ensure that they are all aligned.
c. Should an inter-RIR policy be developed for the purpose of
conducting transfers of Internet Number Resources between regions?
I think not until we know more.
How is this different from Qu1?
regards
Alan
