Allocation and Registration Model

Continue …

IP Allocation is not depending on Supply/Demand manner, and obviously it’s not a market for competition. It’s

Regulatory trueborn duties, and must distribute fairly regard to the actual demand.

The current model work fine, but the global view is to involve ITU and the administration on countries into these processes in order to effectively benefit from their support as well as to keep the administration aware about internet

addressing schema. The modifications on the model have made lightly as

possible to facilitate what indicates in (3.1.2.) no new entities or procedures just updates on the definitions and

insertion of the ITU in the model.
