Bingo!

There is the model for doing reverse DNS for ULA-C. And also
for the directory of ULA-C registrations which would be at
http://ula.nro.net. That page would explain what ULA is,
provide a calculator for generating a ULA-RANDOM address,
direct people to the 5 RIR web pages for registering ULA-C
addresses, provide a ULA-C directory lookup button, and
provide a link for enabling reverse DNS for your ULA-C block.
People would then have a choice of whether or not to have
reverse DNS or to have it delegated to the same phantom IANA
server that handles RFC 1918 reverse DNS.

And the RFC could require that the RIRs have a policy covering
reclamation, and maintaining an ongoing relationship with ULA-C
registrants.

I am certain that the IETF will cooperate if the 5 RIRs jointly
propose a model for ULA-C. I am also certain that we can do
the work in parallel, i.e. it will not be necessary to wait 
until a ULA-C RFC is finalised before getting some wording for
a global policy into the 5 RIR policy proposal processes.
