On 31 July 2008, the ICANN Board ratified the Global Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to Regional Internet Registries. This policy provides for the allocation of Autonomous System Number (ASN) blocks from the IANA to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). On 13 June 2008, the Chair of the Address Supporting Organization Address Council forwarded a Proposed Global Policy for Autonomous System Numbers, ASNs, for ratification by the ICANN Board. This proposed global policy had been submitted to the ASO AC by the Executive Council of the Number Resource Organization on 28 March 2008, and adopted by the ASO AC on 12 June 2008. Each RIR community individually discussed the policy and approved its adoption via their own policy development processes.
This is a call for nominations from the RIPE NCC service region to fill one vacant seat on the Number Resource Organization (NRO) Number council (NC).

The RIPE NCC Executive Board will select one representative from the nominees to serve a three-year term on the NRO NCC beginning 1 January 2009. The decision of the Executive Board will be announced at the RIPE 57 Meeting, which will be held in Dubai, UAE, from 26-30 October 2008.

Dear all,
The APNIC EC has appointed Mr Tomohiro FUJISAKI to the NRO NC (and therefore to the ASO AC), effective immediately. The appointment will fill the position recently vacated by Mr Toshiyuki HOSAKA, for a term ending on 31 December 2008. Please join me in welcoming Fujisaki san to the Address Council. With this email I also request the help of the NRO secretariat in updating the NRO website and mailing lists, which I expect will take a day or so.
All the best,
Paul Wilson,
Director-General,
