It is largely a venue in which people can meet to develop resource allocation/management policy under a multi-stakeholder framework. The theory is that the RIR system works only on trust and the "consent of the governed.” Evolution of the RIR system is presumed to be driven by the stakeholders impacted by the RIR within the context of the RIR (for regional) or ICANN (for global) multi-stakeholder framework. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>More to the point, suppose despite no policy, process, or authority, magic occurs and ICANN were to “stop recognizing that RIR”.
