I agree.  The regional registries meet several times a year as well
as keeping in close contact via email to coordinate our policies
as much as possible.   We are aware of geographical differences and
try to make allowances for them as much as possible.   I think the
majority of the problems with IP numbers pretty much transcend any
international boundaries.
