Dear colleagues,

As you may be aware, the RIRs have initiated a community-led process contributing to the strengthening of the RIR system and the accountability of the Internet Numbers Registry System. In particular, this process aims at revising the requirements for the accreditation of RIRs described over 20 years ago in the "ICP-2" document.  

I have published an article on RIPE Labs which provides more details on considerations that prompted this process and the plan for its completion:
