The first para of s1 needs a rewrite and a little expansion to match up with the abstract to form a proper intro. The goals do belong in a separate section > Also regarding the first para of s4: This contains some woolly hand-waving weasel words at the end: > Over the years, the Internet Numbers Registry System has developed > mechanisms by which the structures, policies, and processes of the > Internet Numbers Registry System itself can evolve to meet the > changing demands of the global Internet community.

Is this (just) the organisations named in the document (I think that would be ICANN/IANA, IETF, *IRs - a large number!) or is the community to be consulted? and governments? So do we have a view as to how all these people are to be informed that some evolution is needed? Regards, Elwyn
