[apnic-talk] [apnic-announce] ICANN accepts ASO proposal
[Note "reply-to:" field]
=================================================================
This is a brief update to the earlier posting regarding a proposal to form
an Address Supporting Organization (ASO) within the framework of the
International Corporation for the Assignment of Names and Numbers (ICANN).
You may remember that APNIC, together with the other Regional Internet
Registries (RIR), ARIN and the RIPE NCC, submitted this proposal for ICANN
to consider at their August 26th Board meeting in Santiago, Chile.
We are happy to report that ICANN accepted this proposal. The proposal is
documented at http://www.apnic.net/news/icann/proposal.html and the ICANN
acceptance is documented at http://www.icann.org/santiago/
santiago-resolutions.htm
We are now moving on to the next steps in the process. The APNIC Executive
Council will be working with the other RIR Boards to draft the Memorandum
of Understanding that will form the ASO.
In addition we need to progress with the selection of nominations for the
Address Council. A formal call for nominations will be published on Monday
6th September, detailing the process we will adopt in this initial
formation of the Council.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you for your continued support in
this lengthy and involved process, and trust that you will seriously
consider nominating suitably qualified individuals to serve the Asia
Pacific Internet Community in the capacity as members of the Address
Council.
