Yes, the RIRs agreed a split for the old "Various Registries" space between themselves. They wrote to us about it in 2008 and a copy of the message and the breakdown is published on the ICANN web site: http://www.icann.org/correspondence/wilson-to-conrad-28jan08-en.pdf > > Geoff Huston's report states that: "At the time IANA reaches the last > 5 /8s (the "IANA Exhaustion time" as defined by current address > allocation policies), these unassigned addresses in the legacy /8s are > then distributed evenly to the RIRs."

This is presumably an address management practice agreed by the NRO rather than a matter of policy. Regards, Leo Vegoda
