A free society does provide innovators (technological or otherwise) the ability/right to act first and tries to impose rules afterwards - the opposite approach (which seems to be the reflexive response of the EU, which is develop rules first, and then wait for industry and society to develop in a way that conforms to the rules) leads to a lack of vibrancy and innovation.

Milton - 

  Are there particular RPKI technical choices which have 
  "law-like implications" of which you are concerned?  

  Also, I have yet to hear of an RIR which didn't adhere 
  to laws in the region in which it operates, so couldn't
  any such items that emerged be addressed by appropriate 
  lawmaking once realized?
