Agreed! 

I took another look at the list and the key ones are defined. 

This doesn't have to be an exhaustive list of all acronyms ever used. (It's a bit unnecessary to explain things like ICANN, IANA etc.)

The RIRs are explained in the doc. 

So include the terms defined in the doc Paul sent. Skip the rest.
