1) IPV6
Oh, as supported by ICANN, the IETF, the RIRs and their members... etc?

Huh? Why would you do that? Are you suggesting that net1 prefixed domains would be IPv4 and net2 prefixes IPv6? IPv6 is already supported in DNS by the use of quad A records and so a website is either accessible via IPv4, IPv6 or both and so which version you use to connect to them is determined by your browser, OS and network connectivity. We're likely to see many years of IPv4 working in conjunction with IPv6 (dual stacked) but without the adoption of IPv6, the Internet as a whole cannot grow at the rates which we've so benefitted from in the past.

As we all know that there is no "Internet Police", which global cyber law enforcing agency would implement this?
