I am one of the co-authors of the Global Policy for Post Exhaustion 
IPv4 Allocation Mechanisms by the IANA ( 
http://www.icann.org/en/resources/policy/global-addressing/allocation-ipv4-post-exhaustion 
).  There has been public discussion of the proposal in all five RIR 
Communities.  It is not clear in the above why transparency of the 
process is a concern.

The above mentions "instances in which the proposals aren't as clear 
as they seem".  Which proposals were not clear and caused problems?
