Louis:
The USG comment's method of accounting probably does not count the
allocations  made prior to the creation of the RIRs. In other words it
excludes the prior allocation of around 80(? - just a guess, don't have
access to the information here) /8's and concentrates only on what has
happened since, say 1999 or so.

Hi,

The US Gov has produced comments on the WGIG report:
http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs2/pc3/contributions/co35.pdf 

An excerpt from this document:

>For example, as of June 2005, cumulative IPv4 address allocations had
the
>following geographical breakdown - 33% to the Asia Pacific Region, 32%
to
>North America, 31% to Europe, 3% to South America and 1% to Africa.

IPv4 allocations are available as a plain text table of 256 entries
at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space 
(last updated 30 June 2005)

The allocation breakdown I get is:

71.7%  North America (ARIN + USA orgs)
12.7%  Europe (RIPE + Eur orgs)
 9.8%  Asia Pacific (APNIC + Jap org)
 2.3%  South America (LACNIC)
 0.6%  Africa (AFRINIC)
 2.9%  Miscellaneous (international)

Anyone to give it a try ?

Best
