<div dir="ltr">Jimmy<div><br></div><div>Since a global RIR policy is defined as a policy that directly affects the interaction between RIRs and the IANA, this cannot by definition be a global RIR policy. There is no mechanism for any other kind of global RIR policy. Since it 2050bis will replace 2050 and it seemed that we would be unable to get these items in 2050bis, some of us felt that getting them into ARIN policy would be helpful. Maybe other RIRs would follow suit. </div>

Agreed... actually.. I rather prefer the principles residing in<br>
RFC2050, outside the policy. For the simple reason, that the burden<br>
of changing RFC2050 is a lot higher -- actually, RFC2050 is<br>
"immutable" document.<br>
<br>
The RIR principles are not something that should not change daily; or<br>
at some author's whim to change policy, and "tune" the principle to<br>
reflect $flavour_of_the_month.<br>
<br>
There should be the fundamental principles of the RIRs accurately<br>
represented in an immutable or near-immutable document residing<br>
outside policy and outside the PDP (like RFC2050), that requires a<br>
much higher "burden" than the PDP for a change to occur.<br>
<br>
But a global policy might work.<br>
<br>
E.g. Statements of fundamental principles should be things that<br>
rarely change; the importance of the principle is more strongly<br>
emphasized, then.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Oh... and just because RFC2050 is no longer the latest revision of<br>
that document, doesn't mean the policy can't continue to refer to<br>
that version.<br>
<br>
I see no urgent need to start adding bits and pieces of 'principles'<br>
to the policy, as an attempted substitute.<br>
