http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-14oct04.htm "The
African Network Information Center (AfriNIC) has taken another step
towards formal recognition as an official Regional Internet number
Registry (RIR) with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN)"

http://www.ripe.net/info/resource-admin/index.html "The RIRs work
closely together and with others to develop *consistent* policies"
(starts added by me)

And, of course, who gives IP addresses to the RIR to allocate?
