Session description
This flash session will discuss the ICANN-RIR relationship from the legal and practical perspectives, trying to shed light on the interaction between the formal rules on one side and the practical reality of the RIRs' activities on the other.
More specifically, this session will first seek to provide an understanding of how the formal rules governing IP addresses distribution have changed since the IANA Transition. Then, the purpose of the session will be to discuss the role and the importance of these rules in the daily life of a RIR and how the current setup could be changed or improve, if such improvement is seen as necessary or warranted.
Format
This section will take the form of a "fireside chat" where presenters will present the various perspectives and discuss them in a dynamic manner. There may be some time at the end for audience intervention.
