Internet governance is suddenly busy with big challenges
Briefly

The Number Resource Organization (NRO) is reviewing its policy document ICP-2 to enhance governance among the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) due to fears of individual RIRs behaving inappropriately. The original ICP-2 policy lacked provisions for managing RIRs failing to meet their responsibilities. Proposed revisions include governance standards, financial stability, and accountability measures to ensure RIRs function properly. The consultation of these principles sparked controversy due to significant duplicate responses, highlighting ongoing challenges in policy restructuring amidst technological advancements in AI.
A proposed revision of ICP-2 aims to define governance and accountability standards for Regional Internet Registries, amidst concerns of a rogue RIR impacting IP address management.
The NRO's move to revise ICP-2 reflects a need for stronger governance principles among Regional Internet Registries, ensuring accountability and financial stability.
