This is a proper model which should remain this way with a little fix. IETF
engineering effort is funded (indirectly) by the employers of the engineers. RIRs
administrative work is funded through membership and allocation fees, which
essentially equals selling of IP addresses. Because the Internet is a shared
resourse its enablers such as IP addresses are not for sale but rather for a free
assignment to everyone. RIRs function should be funded through a politically /
economically neutral body, e.g. UN. Technically the current way of RIR cost recovery
hinders the network neutrality.
