	RIR policy is derived from those who participate in
	the policy development process.  The policy development
	process is analogous to the IETF of last century, when
	what mattered was individual participation... people
	weigh in with thier thoughts and opinions.  ...  Not 
	companies or organizations per.se.    If you don't like
	what the RIR's are doing, consider that the polcies are
	set by folks active in developing policy...

	policies can and have been changed over time.
