Can you please expand on this as I don’t understand your concern as it relates
to Global Policies.
The 2019 ASO MoU defines Global Policy as “number resource policies that have
the agreement of all RIRs according to their policy development processes and
ICANN, and require specific actions or outcomes on the part of IANA or any
other external ICANN-related body in order to be implemented.” (my emphasis)
So far, we only have global policies that require IANA action. They empower the
RIRs to get resources from IANA.

Can you explain the kind of law and the kind of policy you have in mind?
Thanks,
