This is uncharted territory. Some people fear the unknown.

Ever.

That is even harder to imagine because if the RIRs aren't able to do 
anything, what is the private party (solely) that can?

I think there is not.

I've learned a lot between proposal versions in RIPE, LACNIC and ARIN.

Just by having the opportunity to discuss it :-)

Thanks.
