Would you agree that the policies that are referred to in the slide deck 
are best represented by RFC 2050?  Given RFC 2050 is dated Nov 1996 and 
the slide deck is dated Apr 1997, do we agree that is reasonable?  If 
not RFC 2050, then what?

RFC 2050, Section 3.1 last paragraph;

     IP addresses are valid as long as the criteria continues to be met.
    The IANA reserves the right to invalidate any IP assignments once it
    is determined the the requirement for the address space no longer
    exists.  In the event of address invalidation, reasonable efforts
    will be made by the appropriate registry to inform the organization
    that the addresses have been returned to the free pool of IPv4
    address space.

To me this says assignments are revocable for cause.  So, I don't think 
it is reasonable to limit it only to new registrations.

And, I bet even Randy doesn't think that means they would never ever 
change at all.
