We'll make allocations to any LIR that qualifies. It doesn't matter 
whether they're universities or ordinary "for profit" ISPs.

Where a policy like this has been approved I think they're broadly 
similar.

LACNIC's policy is in the last call phase, I believe:

http://lacnic.net/en/last-call.html

The APNIC policy is at:

http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/experimental-alloc.html

I can see that there is an active ARIN policy proposal, here:

http://www.arin.net/policy/2002_2.html

but I'm not sure exactly where the proposal is in the ARIN policy 
development process.
