Perhaps you are applying <br>
some ARIN specific scenario you may know better to all other RIRs which <br>
is incorrect.<br>
AfriNic exist as any other institution and have a bylaws that govern the <br>
organization for legal and financial proposals within a country. But to <br>
be and operate as a RIR it must have some recognition from different <br>
stakeholders as for example community, other internet organizations and <br>
ICANN which requires certain standards of operation and which are much <br>
beyond what the bylaws do for the organization.<br>
<br>
Different from what you said that PDWG is NOT a concession that the <br>
Board give to the community. If it was like that and Board by its own <br>
could make up Internet policies by its own, the organization would <br>
certainly not be recognized as a RIR, but just a normal organization and <br>
those policies would be useless.<br>
It the Board of any RIR would ever call that prerogative to themselves <br>
alone the organization would still exist legally but it would lack <br>
community, other internet organizations and mainly ICANN (IANA/PRI <br>
whatever you may like to call) recognition as a RIR which MUST operate <br>
under certain standards which some of them are guided by ICP2 and which <br>
different from what you believe is the guide document not only to be <br>
used one-off to form a new RIR by for a RIR to remain recognized as such <br>
and operate within those principles.<br>
Or do you really thing that if any Board would retain the prerogative to <br>
make policies only by themselves the community, ICANN and even many of <br>
its members would still keep recognizing it as a RIR ?<br>
<br>
Therefore CPM is not and cannot be governed by any RIR bylaws and why <br>
Board cannot adopt policies unless that permission is given by the <br>
community after due process.<br>
