I’m actually curious: why do you believe you (or the RIRs) are able to tell governments what they can or cannot mandate? > NIRs are never meant to be "mini-RIRs"or something in that line. I’m unsure what you mean by this. Simply, NIRs were (and are, as far as I know) intended to provide Internet registration services for entities within their economy. Overarching guidelines for the policies by which those service are provided are defined within the Internet numbers registry system (see RFC 7020) but those guidelines do not carry the force of law: they require the voluntary cooperation of the parties involved to be effective. > No resources would arrive to a NIR if not via the RIR This is factually incorrect as it ignores the reality that addresses were allocated (to NIRs and others) prior to the existence of the RIRs. It also ignores the existence of the “transfer" market.
