Hi,

I think what makes the IETF and IRTF different is that they are about
individual stakeholder and not about stakeholder groups:  Stakeholderism
as opposed to stakeholdergroupism. That does not mean they can't be
grouped, it just means that those groups do not define their
participation and that any groupings that form are more topic related
and more transitory.  That changes the dynamics quite a bit.

I think that makes them  5th type of model.

I don't know the behavioral dynamics of RIRs so have no idea if they fit
any of the model types. I tend to believe they fall somewhere in between
and may define another type of model, because there is a notion of
membership but from a distance they seem to function as individuals.
Some day I have to get to know the RIRs.
