Re: [IANAxfer@apnic] Key elements of the transition of IANA stewardship
Hi Avri,
The NRO is not incorporated, so it exists only as an MoU among the RIRs. Agreements have been made in the name of the NRO, but with the 5 RIRs as signatories; the ASO MoU is one example.
All the details should be available on the NRO website here:
https://www.nro.net/about-the-nro
All the best,
Paul
