Firstly, leasing should never be an option. Its an idea that the community
has rejected the leasing IPv4 for a very long time and often led to mix
reactions.

The normal process for RIR has always been to allocate IP space to resource
members who qualify to get additional allocation or assignment based on
need.

If there are resource members who were allocated IPv4 space based on their
needd at the time and they no longer need the space... the community has
consensus that the said resource member transfers the IPv4 space to another
resource member who has need.

The RIR role is to ensure that process is smooth.

If RIR has obtained IPv4 address space from resource members who nolonger
need them, then the RIR allocates the space to those resource members with
need.

I will vehemently oppose such a proposal if it were ever be drafted.
