Post IANA & RIR IPv4 Address Space Management Parties(/1),
Cultures(/2), Sandboxes(/6), Silos(/12)

One bit, a 0 or a 1, allows Two Parties to be defined. {Democrat 0 ,
Republican 1} is one example.
Two bits, 00 01 10 11, allow Four Cultures to be defined. [Unix 00
,ISOC 01 ,FCC 10 ,ITU 11] is an example.

===================================
00 - UNIX
01 - ISOC, IETF, IRTF, IANA, ICANN, NANOG, RIRs...
10 - IEEE, ATSC, FCC, NTIA, NIST, LEOs...
11 - UN, ITU, ETSI...
===================================

Parties & Cultures can be used to "Help" the Sandboxes have default stewardship.

Example SandBox 4/6
4/6------------------------
{D} [UNIX] 016/8  Digital Equipment Corporation                  1994-11
           LEGACY
{R} [ISOC] 017/8  Apple Computer Inc.                            1992-07
           LEGACY
{D} [FCC] 018/8  MIT                                            1994-01
           LEGACY
{R} [ITU] 019/8  Ford Motor Company                             1995-05
           LEGACY

With XSLT and XML this table can be shown collapsed to 64 rows with
Party & Culture labels.

Old traditions of a One Party Dictator remain ?

The U.S. FCC could step in and do the entire job of Post IANA & RIR stewardship.

The ITU could also easily do the entire task.

Binary does not change. One bit denotes Two 0 or 1. Two bits denote
Four 00 01 10 11.
With 6 bits (64) and 12 bits (4096) large blocks can be grouped for
"stewardship" (i.e. management).

Note: 3 bits could denote 8 Carriers....AT&T, Comcast....etc...they
could also do the entire job.
