This draft is well-written and it is a significant improvement compared to the previous version.

In Section 2:

  "As such, allocations must be made in accordance with the operational
   needs of those running the networks that make use of these number
   resources and by taking into consideration pool limitations at the
   time of allocation."

The global IPv4 address pool is currently depleted. Two RIR regions are in IPv4 exhaustion phase. There is a proposal in the RIPE region to remove "need" [1]. I gather that this new version of the Internet Numbers Registry System looks towards a future where hosts are IPv6 accessible. Given that the free IPv6 address pool is very large and that IP addresses are not free, what is the rationale for keeping allocations in accordance with operational needs?

  "Registration Accuracy: A core requirement of the Internet
   Numbers Registry System is to maintain a registry of
   allocations to ensure uniqueness and to provide accurate
   registration information of those allocations in order to
   meet a variety of operational requirements."

There isn't any mention of privacy [2] considerations in the draft. Is it up to the IETF to set up a one-stop shop for personal data requests?
