I hate to be pedantic, but there is no "Asian Number
Resource Organization".  The NRO is a global thingy, with one member
per continent.

that currently less than 10% of IPv4 addresses

I think it's just a fact.  Today, the IPv4 Exhaustion Counter is at 9%.

Perhaps this is a misguided concern:

http://blog.icann.org/2008/09/which-region-is-taking-the-lead-in-ipv6-deployment/
 says:

"AfriNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for Africa and parts of the
Indian Ocean, has a higher proportion of networks in its region
announcing IPv6 addresses than the others. Africa also has a smaller
deployed base but IPv6’s size is designed to support exactly the kind
of network growth that highly populated areas, like Africa and Asia
will see as their deployed base grows in the next few years."
