I can make some comments on the draft regarding what I believe to
be typos and incorrect grammar. Is that what you're looking for, or
do you want more substantive discussion?

Well, I would have thought that my views on this subject were
pretty well known. I guess my question has to be -- what is the real
purpose of this draft?
Is the purpose to identify the current actual policies (once
corrected) of the RIRs and mention the issues that have been raised
here, perhaps to bring them to a wider audience?
If so, then I think this draft is definitely something we should
be working on, but we should make an effort to pull out some of the
more emotionally charged language that has been used in the past, and
to make it relatively neutral and simply state the facts. We then
collect the feedback, and see if we can get some consensus that would
allow us to lay out a BCP.
If the purpose is to propose policy changes, then I'm not sure
that this is the right group to handle this topic.
