While not particularly relevant to the discussion, this is incorrect.  IANA has no role in the creation of new RIRs.  The decision to recognize a new RIR is ICANN Board’s based on recommendation from the ASO (see section 4.b.2 of https://aso.icann.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ASO-MoU-Executed-Nov-7-2019.pdf)

PTI is a wholly-owned affiliate of ICANN. All the IANA functions are performed by PTI and, of course, the NRO does NOT control the awarding of the IANA functions, although they have chosen ICANN to perform the IANA _numbering_ function (see https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/SLA-Executed-ICANN-RIRS.pdf).
