The existing operational and policy-making structures relating to management of the global Internet number resource pools have served the Internet community well over time, and the RIR communities have strongly expressed a desire for stability and operational continuity of this critical element of the Internet infrastructure. Accordingly, this proposal suggests minimal changes to existing processes.

As such, they have on numerous occasions expressed their satisfaction with the current management of the IANA functions, which has ensured the effective implementation of policies developed by the community and the efficient distribution of number resources to the RIRs. This proposal has been developed by the RIR communities, as customers of the IANA number-related functions, and meets their need for continuity and stability in the operation of the number-related IANA functions. It does this by solidifying the IANA functions operator's accountability to the RIRs and their communities in relation to the number-related IANA functions.

The Internet numbers community, has a longstanding history of bottom-up, inclusive, open and transparent policy-making and operational processes (including the transparent publication of all registration information). By building on the structures developed by the Internet numbers community, this proposal ensures that in this regard, the openness of the Internet is maintained.

Those communities are open to anyone that wishes to contribute and they include participants from all Internet stakeholder groups, including operators, civil society, business, the technical community and governments. Open, community-driven and consensus-based policy development processes mean that no single stakeholder group has a dominant role in policy-making.
