How would that work in practice? Approximately 100% of all  
organizations use RFC 1918 space. Obviously one use for RFC 1918  
space goes away with IPv6 (NAT) but I'd say that the number of  
internet users requiring some kind of local addressing will still be  
10, 20, 30 or more percent. The RIR membership is measured in  
thousands. So tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of  
organizations that may want ULA-c space have no relationship with an  
RIR. They may not even have a relationship with an ISP...

So how are the RIRs supposed to manage their relationship with 10 or  
100 times as many people as they have relationships with now?
