I tend to agree with Andrei here. 
I don't find it quite appropriate for us to at this stage start telling the RIRs that they need to do x, y, z. 

As noted, the process is not over, but I also find it a little bit odd that we go to them and say "hey, you need to start defining some things here!". (The RIRs have staff on the CRISP team. And one would hope that they and their CEOs have read the proposal!)

As a general note, I think we should put more trust in the RIRs, their bottom-up structures, and their role in the community. 

One alternative way forward, could be that we formally send a brief note to the RIR CEOs. We simply point them to the proposal and ask them to consider its content as it will have implications for them. (No need to list what actions the RIRs need to take.) We could possibly ask for them to confirm receipt of this.

After that, we send a note to the community, informing them that we have communicated with the RIRs and they have acknowledged receipt in some way and that we trust that they are following the process and starting whatever internal work they need to meet the needs of the community.
