Philip 

Prop-069 had two aspects: establishing an IANA pool for returned space,
and making return of space to the IANA mandatory.  It's possible for all
of the RIRs to agree on the former point without "meddling" in each others 
policy, it does not appear possible to reconcile on the latter point at 
this time.

i.e. If mandatory return is a requirement in any region, then one would 
expect prop-086 (which lacks such in my reading) to suffer a similar fate
as prop-069.
