No, with the context, I still do not understand how a simple question constitutes an attempt</div>
<div class="">to kill an RIR. Indeed, I find that it is people who are resistant to the idea of questioning an</div>
<div class="">organization that are most likely to lead to said organizations demise or worse, its</div>

Because of my current role, I cannot further comment on the ongoing legal battle at this time.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I predict errata will be filed against RFC-7020 because it claims to document the current state</div>
<div class="">of the RIR system at the time of writing and the statement that global providers universally deal</div>
<div class="">with multiple RIRs has incorrect implications and is not entirely accurate. There are plenty of</div>
<div class="">global networks that deal with a single RIR and even those that deal with multiple RIRs do</div>
<div class="">not necessarily deal with the RIR for each and every region where they operate.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There is widespread use of addresses from every RIR in other regions, including a lot of address</div>
<div class="">space in use within Africa that is issued by ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC.</div>
