Dear Colleagues,
In December 2007, the Number Resource Organization (NRO) and the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) exchanged
letters reaffirming their commitment to formalizing the legal
relationship between the two organizations. The NRO letter,
jointly-signed by the executives of the five Regional Internet
Registries, stated the NRO's commitment to supporting ICANN, sought
ICANN's acknowledgement of certain aspects of the role of the NRO, and
committed to a deadline of one (1) year for formalizing the legal
arrangements between the two organizations.
In the letter sent by ICANN to the NRO, Dr. Paul Twomey, President/CEO
of ICANN, identified ICANN's commitments to the NRO and re-acknowledged
the roles of the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the NRO, and the
RIRs as described in the ASO Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Dr.
Twomey also committed ICANN to working with the NRO to finalize the
legal arrangements between the two organizations within the one year
timeframe.
The NRO thanks Dr. Twomey and ICANN for its commitment to bringing this
process to a close in the coming year and looks forward to working
together for the benefit of all concerned and the continued stability of
management and allocation of Internet Number Resources.
The two letters are available at the following URLs:
