[Apnic-announce] APNIC Call for Comments - ASO MoU
On the 1st of April 2004, the Number Resource Organisation (NRO) signed a
Letter of Intent with ICANN, documenting their intention to enter into an
MoU to form a new ASO within the ICANN structure. Final approval of the
proposed ASO MoU is contingent upon public comment periods administered by
the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) of the NRO and by ICANN.
The APNIC Executive Council endorses this proposed agreement with ICANN as a
framework which properly balances the roles of communities of interest, the
operation of the Regional Internet Registries, and the responsibilities of
ICANN; and which promotes a structure of responsible policy making and
stable operation of the number resource administrative function.
On behalf of the Executive Council, the APNIC Secretariat issues this call
for comments to be submitted no later than 31 May 2004. Comments may be
submitted to the "nro-comment at nro dot org" mailing list.
Copies of the Letter of Intent and related documents are available on the
NRO website at:

NOTE: In order to submit comments to the "nro-comment" mailing list, it is
necessary to firstly subscribe to the list. Details are available on the
above web page.
