Thanks for the effort at clarification Bill.

The adoption of regions and delegation of policy to regional bodies
has resulted in distinct policies. The policies are "disconnected". A
separate policy choice of a single policy (and single interpretation
of that policy) would create "connected" policies.

Owen's note characterized a policy as "artificial" and claimed a
adverse consequence of regional policy difference.

Does the fact situation (ARIN and AFNIC having free pools and APNIC
not) have allocation consequences? Of course. And I agree with your
concluding comment.
