The regional Internet registries are informally liaised through the unincorporated Number Resource Organization (NRO), which is a coordinating body to act on matters of global importance.
The organization was formed in December 1997 to "provide IP registration services as an independent, nonprofit corporation." Until this time, IP address registration (outside of RIPE and APNIC regions) was done in accordance with policies set by the IETF [ 7 ] by Network Solutions corporation as part of the InterNIC project.

A provider-independent address space (PI) is a block of IP addresses assigned by a regional Internet registry (RIR) directly to an end-user organization. [1] The user must contract [2] with a local Internet registry (LIR) through an Internet service provider to obtain routing of the address block within the Internet.
