Global policies govern how Public Technical Identifiers([[PTI]]s) issue Internet number resources to the RIRs, which then distribute them among their members based on regional policies.

===Global Policies===
===Global Policies===
The ASO does not directly develop policy on Internet number resources but instead ensures that each RIR follows its Policy Development Processes. Global policies are made when there is agreement among all of the RIRs according to their policy development processes and ICANN, and require specific actions or outcomes on the part of IANA or any other external ICANN-related body in order to be implemented.<ref>[https://aso.icann.org/about-the-aso/ About the ASO]</ref>

===Regional Policies===
===Regional Policies===
Each RIR distributes Internet number resources to its members according to policies that have been defined by its regional community.
Each RIR community proposes, discusses, accepts, or rejects policies using a consensus-based policy development process. Anyone can submit a policy proposal for consideration as RIR membership is not required.
