Good point. So maybe all that is needed is for the RIRs to publish the blocks that are assigned to them, so that it is easy to find out which

to query.
And you think this is currently not happening or perhaps it needs to be improved?
Or maybe it would suffice to have an aggregated WHOIS.
Same comment as above.
If the NRO is to take on that role, it will need extra funding and infrastructure. Which will presumably have to come from the RIRs who are already providing the funds and infrastructure which currently supports this function.
True. But the RIRs at present do make a financial contribution to ICANN, presumably in part to fund the IANA function for the IP addresses.
But you want them to pay the contribution to IANA instead? Cheers!
