The NRO RIR overview is the best global starting point. RIR databases and RDAP services help identify the registered holder and public contact channels for IP address and ASN resources; they do not prove who currently routes, physically operates, or beneficially controls a network.
Round-2 priority
Document each RIR's RDAP endpoint, delegated-statistics feed, transfer policy, service-region boundary, and current governance status. AFRINIC needs specific governance and continuity review rather than assumptions based on historical descriptions.
