It depends on how you define Nexus.
Currently the way number resource policy works is that global policy =
requires an identical policy
be put through the policy development process in each of the 5 regional =
internet registries and
adopted by all 5. It is then sent to the ASO AC (an elected body =
representing the 5 RIRs and their
communities to ICANN) who validates that the 5 RIR policy processes =
were, in fact, followed and
that identical (or nearly identical) policy was passed by each. If any =
differences need to be resolved,
the ASO AC works with the RIRs in question to get those resolved through =
the policy processes.
Once all 5 RIR communities have agreed on a common policy, the ASO AC =
ratifies it and sends it
to the ICANN board for a final ratification. Once the ICANN board =
ratifies it, it is global policy.
Generally, these policies are limited to the ones which govern how the =
RIRs interact with IANA to
receive and/or return number resources that are managed by the RIRs.
This particular mechanism has worked quite well for many years. It would =
be a shame to see ICANN
take a more active (destructive) role in the process.
