Re: [aso-council] ASO AC Resolution on "Criteria for the Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries"

["Hans Petter Holen" <hph@online.no>]

The Address Council has instructed me to resubmit this message to ICANN
together with a correction of an unforutnate spelling misstake in our
recomendation to the ICANN board.

The error occured in the 4rth paragraph from the end:
The Address Council recommends that the ICANN board _ADOPTS_
(changed from adapts) this
document as the "Requirements and policies for the approval of
additional RIRs" as specified in paragraph 9 in the ASO MOU."

My sincere applologies for relying entirely on automatic spelling tools.

Acting under instruction of the address Council,
Hans Petter Holen
AC Chair.

----
The RIRs have on request from ICANN developed a document

"Criteria for the Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries"
http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/other/emerging-rir-v1.html

As requested, this document provides criteria and guidelines
specifically for ICANN to take into account when evaluating
applications for recognition of new RIR.

Open process

When the address council received the final document from the RIRs,
the AC conducted a final call for comments on the document on 20001027
on the public list aso-policy@aso.icann.org ending on 20001201

This open call resulted in no further comments to the content of the
document, but some concern towards the openness of the process.

Prior to this the history of the document is as following:

Final call for comments posted to aso-policy on 27 October 2000
http://aso.icann.org/mailing-lists/aso-policy/0010/msg00011.html


The document has been posted to aso-policy in two earlier versions,
and circulated to the communities of the emerging registries and to my
knowledge all comments have been discussed and incorporated as seen
appropriate.

Existing RIR conformance

The address council believes, without conducting a formal evaluation
that the existing RIRs adhere to the principles set forth in this
document. The RIRs have also publicly stated their intention to adhere
to these principles.

Decision by the Address Council

The Address council believes that this document does not in any
significant way change the current global addressing policy."
The document merely proposes evaluation criteria to ICANN
for the evaluation of new RIR. The document is based on the
principles set forth in the ASO MOU
http://www.aso.icann.org/docs/aso-mou.html paragraph 9.

The Address Council recommends that the ICANN board adopts this
document as the "Requirements and policies for the approval of
additional RIRs" as specified in paragraph 9 in the ASO MOU."

The Address Council recommends to the ICANN board to authorize its
staff to conduct the evaluation of new RIR applications for final
board approval.

The Address Council recommends the ICANN board to allocate sufficient
resources to carry out such an evaluation in a timely fashion.

The address council will be pleased to provide further advice to the
ICANN board on this matter if the ICANN board so requests.
