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

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.
