[ispcp] RE: [isoc-advisory-council] ISOC Draft Response to the US Department of Commerce IANA Further Notice of Inquiry

[alain.bidron at orange-ftgroup.com]

When we refer to the RIRs if we take the RIPE region as an example, we clearly design the RIPE-NCC.
The RIPE-NCC  do NOT  propose policies or develop policies. As you know the RIPE community does. I do not see that as a "local complication" but as a requirement that the one managing the resources not being the one developing policies, in the same way IANA should not develop policies. Regarding the NRO, I agree with your comment.
This is why the way ISOC has formulated is a bit ambiguous in my view even if I understand the intention.

Alain

The RIRs do make technical policy such as, for example, the policy that governs how the last /8 of IPv4 is allocated or policy as to whether IP address allocations are tradeable.

In the RIPE region policy is actually made by RIPE rather than the RIPE NCC, but that's a local complication about the split in RIR functions in that region between RIPE and RIPE NCC.

The NRO is not a policy making body. It is, essentially, a trade association of the RIRs. It has a role in helping coordinate policy-development work between the RIRs so that policy implementation dates of equivalent policies are aligned, and it has a role in communicating outcomes to stakeholders, but it doesn't have an acknowledged role in making policy decisions.
