Interesting summary, thanks Chris. But disappointing.

To be perfectly frank I was hoping that the ITU would act as a disruptive influence to create some near-term re-organisation of the RIRs.

As a small IT company owner, I cannot exercise any form of choice in applying for allocations; I either have to pay the outrageous ( and unaffordable, for me ) “membership” fees to become an LIR or I have to live on the morsels that another LIR feeds me, with no guarantee of continuity or multihoming.

A non-geographic RIR was really my last hope for the overhaul of this comfortable cabal.
