I’m unsure whether the global process would be applicable here.  I thought that process applies only to numbers allocation policy that affects the IANA numbers function.

Perhaps “exceptionally lucky and on a topic with zero controversy” would be a better characterization.  I’m actually unaware of any instance of any RIR process (at least these days) than has run from start to finish in only four months.
