These criteria can be found in the NRPM:

Now here is where you have a fundamental misunderstanding of who
develops Internet resource polices.  Its NOT nations and countries,
it's people.  Individuals like myself who are interested in the
subject matter for whatever reason.

These are some of the LEAST "authoritarian measures" known to
humankind.  Everyone can have a say, and everyones voice counts.
Strictly bottom up, open and transparent.

 The philosophical issues that remains

I don't know how you can get any freer or democratic (in the sense of
pure democracy) than RIR policy making procedures.  You are welcome to
join the policy discussions and try.
