That doesn't make sense. Are we trying to imply that the RIR's are a geographic monopoly? What makes an RIR? Is it, its administrators/managers of the registry or is it, its resource members and other stakeholders? Every system has its own modus operandi. Last I checked, they are member based and rules of engagement are set by the members. If members want change in price, there is a process. One of which includes change of leadership with new mandate such as review of pricing etc. Noah
