> Hi Sylvain > > Hi Mike, Thanks for your email, brother. ...i, first, have to apologize as my tone was not as usual. But it was not directed to an individual; but rather, it was another [*] general call to do what i did to learn more about the RIR system history [1][2] & the IN Registry system. __ [*]: <https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/rpd/2021/013404.html> [1]: <https://nro.net/about/rirs/the-internet-registry-system/rir-history/> [2]: <https://nro.net/about/history-of-the-nro/> I respectfully disagree. > > ...yes! your plain rights. > ICANN is a convenience through which the RIR’s operate. > > ...it's a bit difficult to disambiguate ICANN's relationships...it's easy to think the contrary true [3] :-/ i share more on it below, please. __ [3]: Open Letter to ICANN from the Regional Internet Registries, 6 NOV 2003 <https://www.nro.net/open-letter-to-icann-from-the- regional-internet-registries/> > The rest of the NRO recognised AfriNIC and could have done so without > ICANN involvement - had they so chosen. > > ...in 2005.

It shows a full attempt of independence... __ [4]: <https://www.nro.net/nro-memorandum-of-understanding/> ...but, did they chose IANA? the role, sure :-) [ASOMOU] ICANN, "ICANN Address Supporting Organization (ASO) MoU", October 2004, <http://archive.icann.org/en/aso/aso-mou-29oct04.htm>. ...the companion RFC of RFC7020 is RFC7249: Internet Numbers Registries <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7249> ~°~ Abstract RFC 7020 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020> provides information about the Internet Numbers Registry System and how it is used in the distribution of autonomous system (AS) numbers and globally unique unicast Internet Protocol (IP) address space. This companion document identifies the IANA registries that are part of the Internet Numbers Registry System at this time. ~°~ ...i don't think we need to go back to the time when the IANA technical function was fully under US DoC/NTIA contract [5]...permit me to paste the below portion of text, from RFC7020, to conclude: ~°~ [...] The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) currently fulfills the IANA role in accordance with the IETF-ICANN "Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Technical Work of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority", which was signed and ratified in March 2000 [RFC2860 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2860>]. In addition, ICANN performs the IANA services related to the IP address space and AS numbers according to global number resource policies that have been developed by the community and formalized under a Memorandum of Understanding between ICANN and the Regional Internet Registries [ASOMOU <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020#ref-ASOMOU>] and documented in [ICANNv4 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020#ref-ICANNv4>], [ICANNv6 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020#ref-ICANNv6>], and [ICANNASN <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7020#ref-ICANNASN>]. [...] ~°~ It cites a MoU between ICANN & IETF/IAB about IANA role; back in march 2000; NRO was created on 24 october 2003 [4]. But ICP-2 [6] has been ratified by ICANN on 04 june 2001, so LACNIC enjoyed it first in 2002, then AfriNIC in 2005... ...ASO AC (1999) [7] predates NRO NC (2003). __ [5]: <https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/ianacontract.pdf> [6]: <https://icann.org/icp/icp-2.htm> [7]: <https://aso.icann.org/about/aso-icann/> ...those public information are the base of my assertion...again, i admit that both the two directions could be proved to be true. But, icymi, *our* concern was about what Owen said, regarding ICANN. So, the same kind of thinking developed through nra.help... Hope this clarifies, something.
