Each RIR distributes Internet number resources to its members according to policies that have been defined by its regional community.
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.<ref>[https://aso.icann.org/policy/regional/ ASO Regional Policymaking]</ref>
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.<ref>[https://aso.icann.org/policy/regional/ ASO Regional Policymaking]</ref> Every RIR has its own regional policy development policy. However, there are several aspects that all of the RIR PDPs have in common:
# RIRs facilitate the policy development process; they do ''not'' propose, develop, reject, or accept policy proposals.
# Discussions on public mailings lists and at meetings are an important part of the policy-making process.
# Community consensus is required for a proposal to become policy or for an amendment to an existing policy. Any arguments or objections must be addressed before a proposal/amendment is adopted.
# Every RIR is bound to execute the policies that have been developed by its community.<ref>[https://www.nro.net/policy/regional/ NRO Description of Regional Policymaking]</ref>
