RFC 1930 was written in 1996. The five modern RIRs were variously formed between 1992 and 2004, and the NRO was established in 2003. ICANN was founded in 1998. The concept of "internet governance" as it applies to number resources is quite different today than it was when RFC 1930 was written. The RIRs all have established roles and processes around policy, they collaborate together under the umbrella of the NRO and the roles of ICANN and the ASO in all of this are more clearly understood. RFC 1930 is documentation of historical consensus, and it contributes to policy in 2025 rather than specifying it. The kind of policy I mean is more commonly developed in other organisations and communities today than the IETF. It's not clear to me how grow spending time on this would be useful, given that context. Changing the status of 1930 or replacing it with another document (or both) unilaterally seems far more likely to cause headaches than clarity.
