Since there is no policy currently by which IANA can hand out anything less than a /8 it seems that returning smaller blocks to IANA so they can be stuck there might not be such a great idea? How about a global policy directing IANA how to hand out smaller blocks to the RIRs might be in order? That policy is here http://www.icann.org/en/general/allocation-IPv4-rirs.html *Allocation Principles* - The IANA will allocate IPv4 address space to the RIRs in /8 units. - The IANA will allocate sufficient IPv4 address space to the RIRs to support their registration needs for at least an 18 month period. - The IANA will allow for the RIRs to apply their own respective chosen allocation and reservation strategies in order to ensure the efficiency and efficacy of their work.
