Session teaser

How have the formal rules governing IP address distribution changed since the IANA Transition? Do these rules matter at all in the actual daily life of the RIRs?

Keywords

RIR, ICANN, law, IP addresses, numbering

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. In addition, the current setup, including the place of the Address Supporting Organisation (ASO) within ICANN, will be assessed and presenters, along with the audience if possible, will consider what the future holds for ICANN-RIR relations.

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.
