[rpd] Internet number resources reporting regulations

[Douglas Onyango]

Kivuva, et al,
Unless tzNIC becomes an NIR -- and I am not proposing they should -- I
don't see much benefit in this endeavor.

The motivation behind collecting IP address allocation and usage
information is to enhance accountability. However, if such information
collected by tzNIC doesn't end up at the RIR, which maintains the globally
accessible allocation/usage database,this information will be stored away
at worst and MIGHT, be used by the relevant government agency at best.
