</div>I may be overly cynical (who me?) but I suspect they want an RIR for cultural/linguistic/political reasons, not technical ones.<br>

</div>ICP-2 doesn't require actual continents. The actual wording is:<br>

"The proposed RIR must operate internationally in a large geographical region of approximately continental size."<br>

The establishment of multiple RIRs in one region

<br>
</div>I suspect it is similar to the basis used for the establishment of APNIC, LACNIC, and AfriNIC -- a desire to serve a particular "continental sized" community. It is not necessarily related to unhappiness with the RIR service folks in that area are already getting, e.g., were folks in African nations unhappy with the service they were getting from RIPE-NCC and ARIN before AfriNIC was established?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Well you have made a point, however these community is within a region that already have a RIR that serves the community "adequately", although i did not experience how IP allocation request from Africa was before AfriINIC however i can guess that it will be more tideous than what we have at the moment (and lets not forget that request will be quite few at that time) perhaps the reason why RIPE-NCC and ARIN combined effort to serve Africa.<br>
So unless the Arab region have a similar motive why Afrinic was established(part of which will be related to meeting and sustaining IP demand in Africa) then they should provide justifications that are indeed obvious.<br>
