[rpd] LACNIC proposal to create a global internet registry

[Douglas Onyango]

Hi Ernest,

I am impartial on the matter, however, I want to highlight some of the
challenges that this proposal will face.

1. Remit of the PDP
The establishment of Internet Registries is not exactly within the remit of
the Policy Development Process -- Global or otherwise. Infact, ICP-2:
Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries states

ICP-2: Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries which
stipulates the criteria for establishment of registries is currently
incompatible with this policy proposal. Once example of this is *"Each
region should be served by a single RIR, established under one management
and in one location" *There are several other points in this document that
would make it difficult to for the proposed entiry to pass such an
evaluation.
