Or a return to sanity. It would seem to me that RIRs claiming ownership over how returned space is subsequently managed has demonstrably led to a form of madness. Returning address space to IANA would increase the likelihood that it would be re-distributed based on need (as opposed to regionalism).

See the second bullet in Yi Chu's idea.

Over 40% of the IPv4 address space allocated was not allocated by the RIRs.
How about a different question: why should address space be returned to the RIRs?

What sort of dispute are you imagining?
