Data for ir, om, ne, and ae was reused because no full new collection
could be done due to AXFR blocks and/or unreachable nameservers.

Dear All,
on 24 February 2002 the President and CEO of ICANN, Stuart Lynn,
published a discussion document that
-1- analyses the current problems and shortcomings of ICANN, and
-2- proposes a new structure for a reformed ICANN.
This document can be found at
http://www.icann.org/accra/reform-topic.htm
A first reaction by the RIPE NCC has been published on 1 March 2002,
and can be found at
http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/regional/icann-reform.html
Furthermore, some (personal) opinions from the IETF Chair, Harald
Alvestrand, can be found at
http://www.alvestrand.no/icann/icann_reform.html
All this is of the utmost importance to both RIPE and the RIPE NCC. I
would therefore strongly encourage the RIPE community to read these
documents very carefully, and start a discussion on their implications.
It is clear that we are at a crossroads as far as ICANN is concerned, and
that we might have a last opportunity to do it right this time.
The status of the proposal is as follows:
- the proposal was presented to the ICANN Board on 23 February
- the Board discussed it on 23-24 February
- the board decided to publish the document and ask for input
from all affected parties
- the board will at some time in the (near) future take a decission
on restructuring ICANN. This will not happen at the forthcoming
Board meeting in Accra
I suggest to use this list <ripe-list(a)ripe.net> for further
discussions. I will certainly use this list to let my own views be known.
Best regards,
Rob Blokzijl
RIPE Chairman
ICANN Director
