RIR Model - Structure
• Bottom-up, industry, self-regulatory
structure
• Open and transparent
• Neutral and impartial
• Not for profit organizations
• Membership open to all interested parties
• Membership elects Board of Trustees and Advisory
Council
• Membership approves activities & budget
• RIRs do NOT register domain names
NANOG 22

Formation of ICANN
• US Government decision to end USG
management of the global Internet
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) formed as the
industry self-regulatory body
NANOG 22

AFRINIC?
LACNIC?
ICANN ASO
• Formed by RIRs based on existing and proven
regional policy structures
• Responsible for global policy coordination
within ICANN framework
• Advisory Council elected by RIR communities
NANOG 22
Scottsdale, AZ
Role of the AC
• ...is to be a catalyst in the policy process,
– not to develop policy,
– but to oversee and coordinate the policy
development process facilitated by the RIRs
• Make recommendations to the ICANN
board on addressing issues
• Elect three members of the ICANN Board
of Directors

RIR Activities
• Address space management
• Registration
• Policy development
• Outreach

Address Management
Challenges
• Address space depletion
– IPv4 address space is finite
– Historically, many wasteful allocations
• Routing chaos
– Legacy routing structure, router overload
– CIDR & aggregation are now vital
• Inequitable management
– Unstructured and wasteful address space
distribution
NANOG 22

Address Management
Objectives
• Conservation
– efficient use of resources
– allocation based on demonstrated need
• Aggregation
– Limiting growth of routing table
– provider-based addressing policies
• Registration
– Ensuring uniqueness
– Troubleshooting
• Fairness and Consistency
– In the interests of regional and global communities
NANOG 22
