I thought that IANA would allocate mega-ranges only.
One mega-range is to be allocated to comi-space for IETF WG use.
Other mega-ranges would be allocated to other SDOs (IEEE, Wifi alliance,
etc.) for use in their specifications.

Whether there are gaps in the mega-ranges is up to IANA.
Whether there are gaps in the IETF range is up to comi.space code.

I think it's reasonable if a specification outgrows the range before RFC that
it would just get reallocated into a new range and the old range recycled
after a period of time (6 months maybe).

It is my impression that the operation of comi.space would be turned over
either IANA or the IETF secretariat or some other contractor. All of this
under IAOC tools team oversight.
