		<description><![CDATA[Private internet registries have inflated narrow technical roles into quasi-sovereign authority, laundering mandate through ritual and rhetoric; a fragile system now faces legal, economic and political reckoning, prompting calls for coordinated transition urgent global reform. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsmandate-laundering-from-rir-fantasy-to-transition-architecture">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A dispute over African IP governance exposes a flaw in the RIR system, where thin policy, weak accountability and institutional self preservation risk overriding running networks and undermining the technical legitimacy that sustained global coordination. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsrunning-code-betrayal-how-the-rir-system-turned-consensus-against-the-technical-community">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> The Poverty Penalty: How the RIR Model Taxes the Poor While Calling It Equality (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/poststhe-poverty-penalty-how-the-rir-model-taxes-the-poor-while-calling-it-equality</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/poststhe-poverty-penalty-how-the-rir-model-taxes-the-poor-while-calling-it-equality</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Critics blame IPv4 markets for inequality, but registry rules long rewarded scale and imposed regressive costs. Scarcity was managed, not equalized, leaving poorer networks paying more for slower, less predictable access over time and regions. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhe-poverty-penalty-how-the-rir-model-taxes-the-poor-while-calling-it-equality">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Sovereignty Inversion: How RIRs Reduced National Sovereignty to a US$100 Liability Cap (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/postssovereignty-inversion-how-rirs-reduced-national-sovereignty-to-a-us100-liability-cap</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/postssovereignty-inversion-how-rirs-reduced-national-sovereignty-to-a-us100-liability-cap</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Regional internet registries, once coordinators of technical scarcity, now effectively cap liability at $100 while retaining control over national numbering systems, shifting risk to states and entrenching a governance model critics argue today inverts sovereignty. <a href="https://circleid.com/postssovereignty-inversion-how-rirs-reduced-national-sovereignty-to-a-us100-liability-cap">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Regional Internet Registries' Thick Governance Turns Uniqueness Into Double Extraction (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/postsregional-internet-registriesa-thick-governance-turns-uniqueness-into-double-extraction</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/postsregional-internet-registriesa-thick-governance-turns-uniqueness-into-double-extraction</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Regional Internet registries, built for coordination, now sit atop scarce IPv4 assets while bearing little liability, suppressing capitalization and imposing "double extraction" that weakens operators, distorts markets and threatens the stability of global internet uniqueness. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsregional-internet-registriesa-thick-governance-turns-uniqueness-into-double-extraction">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Internet Number Resources Are Not Political Property (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsinternet-number-resources-are-not-political-property</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Internet number resources, once clerical entries, now underpin real economic value, exposing a mismatch between registry power and accountability, while misplaced political narratives obscure the case for decentralised, operator-led control. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsinternet-number-resources-are-not-political-property">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> When Registry Power Detaches From Liability, It Detaches From Reality (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postswhen-registry-power-detaches-from-liability-it-detaches-from-reality</link>
		<description><![CDATA[IPv4 scarcity turned regional internet registries from clerks into gatekeepers of a valuable resource. Yet liability caps remain trivial, leaving powerful institutions with little accountability and incentives for conflict and structural breakdown ahead. <a href="https://circleid.com/postswhen-registry-power-detaches-from-liability-it-detaches-from-reality">More...</a>]]></description>
