[arin-ppml] {Spam?} Re: distributing resources for individuals

[John Curran]

Paul –

You raise some interesting points about fees, governance, and competition—and I would be remiss if I did not point out that there is a process currently underway to update the long-standing ICP-2 (Internet Coordination Policy 2) document.  This document establishes the criteria by which Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are recognized, and thus touches on many of the same issues you mentioned. Importantly, it is seeking community input now.

The ICP-2 update process is described here:
https://aso.icann.org/icp-2-review/

A draft of the proposed updated document, “Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries”, was published last week by the ASO AC for community consultation:
https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/rir-governance-document/

There will be consultations held in all RIR regions, as well as an ICANN public consultation on the draft document.

You can participate via public mailing lists and upcoming online/in-person consultation sessions—more details are available here:
https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/community-engagement/

I would encourage anyone with an interest in the structure and governance of the RIR system to review the proposed governance document and share their feedback.

Thanks!
/John

Now they are just finding ways to keep increasing fees automatically every year instead of laying employees off with the decreased work load. Why did the advisory board let that fee auto increase go through. Lay off employees or move to a less expensive location. Seems to be what Trump wants.
