[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) Further information about the ASO may be found at the following sites: APNIC: http://www.apnic.net/news/icann RIPE NCC: http://www.ripe.net/info/ncc/icann.html ------------- Original Message ------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of APNIC Secretariat Sent: Friday, 9 July 1999 11:30 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [APNIC Members] ICANN ADDRESS SUPPORTING ORGANISATION: PROGRESS UPDATE ICANN ADDRESS SUPPORTING ORGANISATION: PROGRESS UPDATE 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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, or to APNIC's public mailing list "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (note that you must first subscribe to apnic-talk in order to send email to this list; do so by sending an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Further updates on the ASO formation will be posted at http://www.apnic.net/news/icann/. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + APNIC Secretariat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tel: +61-7-3367-0490 Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) Ltd Fax: +61-7-3367-0482 Level 1, 33 Park Road, PO Box 2131, Milton, QLD 4064, Australia + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + * APNIC-ANNOUNCE: Announcements concerning APNIC * * To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * APNIC-TALK: General APNIC Discussion List * * To unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] *
