Call for Nominations for Representatives to the ASO Address Council - RIPE region
by Hans Petter Holen 23 Aug '01

23 Aug '01

Dear colleagues, This is a call for nominations of individuals from the RIPE region to serve on the ASO Address Council. During October 2001, one RIPE region Address Council seat will become vacant and will be filled for the next three years by an individual nominated through this open call. This document describes the functions of the ASO and the Address Council, as well as the nomination and selection processes. If you are interested in nominating an individual, or if you are interested in being nominated as a member of the Address Council, please read this document carefully. 1. The Address Supporting Organisation - -------------------------------------- The ASO was formed in August 1999 as a consensus-based advisory body within the ICANN Framework, though a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the current Regional Internet Registries and ICANN. The ICANN Bylaws (http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VI-A) assign to the ASO the responsibility for the development of global policies relating to the distribution and registration of Internet address space, inter-domain routing identifiers and that part of the DNS name space that is used to name these addresses and identifiers. More information about the ASO is available at: http://www.aso.icann.org 2. The Address Council - ---------------------- The ASO Address Council co-ordinates the process of policy development in areas within the responsibility of the ASO, according to procedures defined within the MoU and by the AC itself. Specifically, these include the hosting of an annual open General Assembly meeting, and attending regular meetings by teleconference or in person at which policy issues and submissions may be considered. The other major responsibility of the Address Council is the appointment of individuals to fill ASO seats on the ICANN Board of Directors, according to procedures defined within the MoU. More information on the Address Council is available at: http://www.aso.icann.org/ac 3. The Role of Members of the Address Council - --------------------------------------------- Members of the Address Council do not represent any RIR, nor do they act as representatives of any other body. They are appointed in their individual capacity, and their membership cannot be proxied by any other individual or organisation. No member of the Address Council is entitled to any compensation from the ASO. No member can be indemnified by the ASO, nor can the ASO obtain insurance coverage relating to the liability of the actions of members of the Address Council. 4. Address Council Nominations Process - -------------------------------------- Through this nomination process, one individual from the RIPE region will be selected to serve on the Address Council for three years, replacing Hans Petter Holen who has served as an initial AC member for the past 2 years. The selection will be made though an open election from the set of individuals who have been nominated within this process. Any individual may be nominated, with the exception of any staff member of any Regional Internet Registry. Self-nominations are permitted. Nominations should be sent by email to <nominations(a)ripe.net>, by midnight UTC on 5 September 2001. The information included with the nomination is to be in English and should include: Name of Nominee: Country of residence: Organisation: Email Address: Postal Address: Biographical information: Motivation for nomination: Name of nominating individual: Organisation: Email Address: All nominees will be contacted via email to confirm their willingness to serve on the Address Council. If a nominee is not contactable via email, or does not respond, then their nomination will not be confirmed and they will not be eligible for election to the Address Council. All confirmed nominations will be listed on the RIPE web site after they are confirmed. All nominees will have the opportunity to submit a written statement in support of their nomination, for publication on the web site. In addition, others may express support for nominated individuals simply by completing and submitting the nomination form provided above. 5. Address Council Selection Process - ------------------------------------ The process for selection of the nominee to serve on the Address Council will involve an open election to be held during the plenary session of the RIPE 40 Meeting, in Prague, Czech Republic, on 5 October 2001. See the following URL for details about the selection procedure: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/adress_council-election.html More information about RIPE 40 will be available shortly at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/current/ripe-40/ Important Dates: 5 September 2001 - deadline for Address Council nominations Regards, Hans Petter Holen Local IR WG chair

Good News..
by Axel Pawlik 13 Jun '01

13 Jun '01

Dear all, [apologies for duplicate mails] During the INET conference, that took place last week in Stockholm, Brian Carpenter presented this year's Jonathan Postel Award to Daniel Karrenberg. To quote from the Internet Society's website: >The Jonathan B. Postel Service Award was established by the Internet >Society to honor a person who has made outstanding contributions in >service to the data communications community. It is named for Dr. Jonathan >B. Postel to recognize and commemorate the extraordinary stewardship >exercised by Jon over the course of a thirty year career in networking. Daniel, whom many of you know as one of the founding members of RIPE, and who conceived the concept of the RIPE NCC, and served as its General Manager from 1992 to 1999, was commended for his nearly 20 year long involvement with networking and the Internet in Europe, and for his continuously selfless contributions to the Internet community. It is with special delight that we congratulate Daniel today, and wish him equal success during the coming decades! And, of course, all of us at the RIPE NCC are very happy that Daniel is still "one of us"... kind regards, Axel Pawlik
