[apnic-announce] ICANN ADDRESS SUPPORTING ORGANISATION: PROGRESS UPDATE
[Note "reply-to:" field]
To all interested parties,
Last week APNIC made the following announcement to all APNIC members
regarding the joint Regional Internet Registry proposal to form the Address
Supporting Organisation (ASO) of ICANN. This proposal has been cooperatively
developed by the combined Registries, after a long process of consultation
with our memberships and communities throughout our respective regions.
As the Regional Internet Registry for the Asia-Pacific region, APNIC is
seeking inputs from all interested parties in this region, in order that we
may finalise this proposal and submit it to ICANN in time for consideration
at the Santiago meeting in August. The deadline for the submission to ICANN
is 24 July 1999, so inputs should be sent to APNIC by 20 July 1999 at the
latest (contact details are provided within the announcement below).
We look forward to your inputs and to your support in our efforts, on behalf
of our membership and community, to establish the ASO.
Best regards,
Paul Wilson
Director General, APNIC.
(with apologies for duplicate postings)

Regional Registries Prepare to Submit ICANN ASO Proposal
The combined boards of the 3 Regional Internet Registries, APNIC, ARIN,
and RIPE NCC, met during the INET'99 conference in San Jose last month, to
finalise a draft proposal to form the Address Supporting Organisation of
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The proposal is the product of consideration of the role of ICANN and the
role of the ASO and the Address Council undertaken by the RIRs, their
Boards or Executive Committees, and their membership at large, and also
includes the incorporation of comment arising from a series of
ICANN-sponsored public ASO discussion meetings through the past 12 months.
This latest draft ASO proposal is now available at
http://www.apnic.net/news/icann/proposal.txt (along with an associated
explanatory cover letter at http://www.apnic.net/news/icann/cover.txt).
The proposal is for review by RIR members and other interested parties,
prior to its planned submission to ICANN, in time for the coming meeting
in Santiago, Chile. The deadline for submission is 24 July 1999, and
comments are sought by no later than 20 July 1999.
For APNIC members and others within the AP region, comments may be sent
directly to APNIC at <secretariat at apnic dot net>, or to APNIC's public mailing
list "apnic-talk at apnic dot net" (note that you must first subscribe to
apnic-talk in order to send email to this list; do so by sending an email
to <majordomo at apnic dot net> with the words "subscribe apnic-talk" in the body
of the message).
Once the proposal is submitted to ICANN (by 24 July 1999), APNIC will be
seeking the formal support of our membership to establish the ASO
according to this proposal.
Expressions of support may be sent to <comment-aso at icann dot org>.
Further updates on the ASO formation will be posted at
http://www.apnic.net/news/icann/.
