RIRs are operated on a not for profit basis, are membership driven
organizations .. in fact they fulfil several criteria that a normal civil
society group would be expected to

The problem is that people who think the technical community doesn't belong
here seem to hold very firmly to the traditional "3 stakeholder groups" idea
as well.

And the other problem is that they just don't realize that spurning
technical expertise, in policy discussions on a technical resource (so that
such governance spans a boundary traditional civ soc groups may not have
adequate experience with at all), they are shooting themselves in the foot.
Some because of intensely political reasons, others because of the "they
don't belong here" mindset.
