<p>Hello Mike</p>
<p>I don´t know who invented thins thing of ICP-2 not applicable to
any RIRs after its creating as it became a lawless organization
that can do anything they like regardless all the rest of
worldwide Internet community.</p>
<p>What is the sense to requiring some quiet strict and strong
principles like Bottom-up self-governance and after the creating
of a RIR it can transform itself in whatever they like contrary to
those principles and trash away the everything that was mandatory
for its creation at 23:59h ? It is like stimulating an anarchic
system and put in danger the interests of a large amount of
people.<br>
Maye it is very comfortable for some people in control for some
RIRs to go into that direction as they would feel more comfortable
to do whatever they like unsupervised but it doesn't work like
that.</p>
<p>Bottom-up governance means members and community, actual Internet
actors, potential new actors and its users, not only members and
the balance between a Board which is basically membership and its
PDP which is community is always a wise thing.<br>
</p>
<p>Any RIR that eventually doesn't comply with ICP-2 should be
brought up to spot, and discussions should be raised in ICANN up
to it Board as well in all other RIRs in order to stop recognizing
that RIR.</p>

I don’t see any basis for debate here. Once an RIR is
established - ICP-2 essentially ceases to have any legal or
compliance relevance and simply has moral guidance.<br class="">

Respectfully, there is no basis for any such declaration of
invalidity? Who would declare it invalid: ICANN or a court? If a
court - in which jurisdiction? If ICANN - based on what
provision of the ICANN by-laws?</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Please give a real example of how such declaration of
invalidity - otherwise this is just FUD.<br class="">

Quite happy to agree that the bylaws can be improved, but it has
nothing to do with ICP-2.</div>
