ICANN can offer whatever advice it wants, but it shouldn't be surprised
when the RIRs ignore it.
I entirely agree that ARIN and RIPE have some dubious policies, but they
have their own bottom up multistakeholder blah blah processes which is
where these fights will happen. For ICANN, which has not distinguished
itself as a steward of the public interest, to attempt to lecture them
would be, well, amusing.
