Dear colleagues,

The Number Resource Organization Number Council* (NRO NC) has completed its 
qualitative analysis and summary of the community responses received to the 
questionnaire on the proposed principles to update ICP-2 
<https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/proposed-icp-2-version-2-principles/>.
 The questionnaire was open from 8 October until 6 December 2024. During this 
window, we received 298 individual submissions from the Regional Internet 
Registry (RIR) communities. The summary and the raw data questionnaire are 
available here 
<https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/icp-2-principles-questionnaire-report-and-data/>.
 

This summary 
<https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ICP-2-Questionnaire-Summary-Report.pdf> 
provides an overview of the input received, first and foremost, to support the 
drafting of the updated ICP-2 document, and secondly, to report back to the RIR 
communities. Thirdly, the feedback provides important insights that will be 
valuable for the future implementation of the updated version of ICP-2. 

The summary does not include the NRO NC’s opinions on or responses to the 
comments submitted, nor does it include an evaluation of the communities’ 
opinion on the principles. The NRO NC will continue to discuss the communities’ 
feedback as well as the input  received through ICANN’s public comment 
<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-internet-coordination-policy-2-icp-2-version-2-principles-08-10-2024>
 while drafting the updated ICP-2 document.

For each proposed principle, respondents could express their level of agreement 
through a five-point opinion scale (Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, 
or Strongly Disagree) and provide comments. Additionally, they could share 
general feedback at the end of the questionnaire.

It was noted in reviewing the responses that approximately half were found to 
be duplicate comments. The duplicate responses were consolidated and considered 
as a single input. It is important to note that these near-identical responses 
have also been included in this analysis. We have provided more details on how 
these responses were identified and treated in the Methodology section of the 
summary and the PDF containing the text of the comments.

Further, many responses provided a rating that did not match the content of the 
response. In these cases, we prioritised the content of the response, rather 
than using the rating. For the purposes of transparency, the full datasets with 
the duplicate responses, as well as a filtered dataset without duplicate 
answers are available in both PDF and CSV formats. We encourage you to browse 
through the actual data along with reading our summary.

We sincerely thank everyone who has shared their insights. It was a long 
questionnaire, and we appreciate the time, thought and effort put in by our 
respondents.*The Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) is also 
known as the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) within 
ICANN, where it serves as the body responsible for overseeing global policy 
development related to Internet number resources.

On behalf of the NRO NC
