Dear Colleagues,
The feedback period for the draft ‘Governance Document for the Recognition,
Maintenance, and Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries
<https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/rir-governance-document/>’
(draft ‘RIR Governance Document’) has officially concluded.
The consultation
<https://www.nro.net/consultation-on-draft-governance-document-for-the-recognition-maintenance-and-derecognition-of-regional-internet-registries/>
was open from 14 April to 27 May 2025, and allowed participants to share their
opinions on the proposed text and requirements as well as provide additional
constructive comments. Each RIR hosted at least one interactive informational
session for their community during this period, where additional feedback may
have been collected. Sessions were also hosted for ICANN communities, and an
ICANN Public Comment
<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/governance-document-for-the-recognition-maintenance-and-derecognition-of-rirs-14-04-2025>
process was held in parallel during the same period. The list of the sessions
held and links to their archives are available on the NRO website
<https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/community-engagement/>.
This process focuses on reviewing and updating the fundamental principles of
Internet Coordination Policy-2 (ICP-2)
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/new-rirs-criteria-2012-02-25-en>, a key
document that defines the criteria for recognizing and evaluating RIRs.
The Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC), that fulfils the role
of the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC), will discuss
the feedback received from the RIR communities as well as the ICANN Public
Comment process and use it to inform the next draft. The NRO NC will publish
the next draft for review to the RIR and ICANN communities in the later months
of 2025.
We would like to thank everyone who participated and provided feedback during
this critical process. Your contributions are essential to ensuring that these
principles reflect the needs and expectations of our community.
[Sent on behalf of the NRO NC]
