ICP-2 governs the creation and acceptance of new RIRs into the
RIR system. It has no material bearing on the RIR once it has
been accepted into the RIR system, so quoting it here is not
particularly meaningful.</div>

Once again this is not correct information. Those reading it please
consider it as simply Owen personal point of view.<br>
It simply make zero sense to say the above given what ICP-2 means
including after the creation of the RIR. It's not something to use
one-off an be trashed right after as easy as said.
<p>Just think for a minute that a key condition to create a new RIR
is that have bottom-up self-governance structure. Then it passed
and on the day after it doesn't have that anymore. What sense does
it have at all ? Simply none !<br>
