You are free to believe that IANA is brain dead. I prefer to believe
that they would not act

in a patently stupid way. Even if policy did not exist, it would only
take a few well-worded

requests to ICANN to sort out that kind of problem.

 

If you really want to get a global policy through that will solve this
issue, then it should be simple.

 

1.       IANA shall accept any Ipv4 blocks of whatever size that the
RIRs wish to return.

2.       IANA shall allocate returned blocks of any size, to RIRs that
can make use of that space.
