Is there any wording that captures both the autonomous approach
of each RIR's, and globally coordinated aspects? Or, I might suggest that we
do not touch that _at this point_   as this is, to me, the first statement
and we may go further as policy discussions go deep or more specific.

So there is still a large room before reaching the consensus, I guess.

The tone of this statement is generally geared torwards "adderss
community" that
includes RIRs and NRO/ASO, but also NIRs and LIRs, and to some extenet
governments for public policy awareness. ICANN Board? Yes, in a sense we
cannot ignore, but at this stage we are NOT asking the Board for
specific action.
I think that is, at least, too early now.
