Dear All,
below is the hostcount for May 2002.
The table shows an increase since last month of over 520,000 (or 3,2%)
to a total of almost 17,140,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and
surrounding areas.
The cz domain shows the highest increase for May with approximately
150,000 hosts more than in April.
Background information and more statistics are
available at
http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/
- Brief Notes on this Hostcount -
There are less domains in the count, as it was not possible to retrieve
new data for bh, om and ne for a while now.
The it data of April, 2002 was reused because the remotely collected
data turned out to be corrupted.
- Credits -
I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount
every month by running a local count:

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Call for Nominations to serve on the ASO
Address Council(see below). In our effort to reach as many interested
parties as possible you may receive multiple copies of this message. Please
accept our apologies for this.
The Call for Nominations for the ASO Address Council can also be found on
our website at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/about/regional/icann.html
Regards,
Paul Rendek
RIPE NCC
Call for Nominations for Representatives to the ASO Address Council - RIPE
NCC Service Region
----------------------------------------------------------
This is a call for nominations of individuals from the RIPE NCC service
region to serve on the ASO Address Council. On 31 December 2002 one RIPE
NCC service 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 process. If you are interested in
nominating an individual, or if you are interested in submitting a
self-nomination, 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 through 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 Address Council itself. Specifically, these
include the hosting of an annual open General Assembly meeting and
attending regular meetings either by teleconference or face-to-face, 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
- ---------------------------------------------
Each member of the Address Council is expected to serve for a period of 3
years. No member of the Address Council is entitled to any compensation
from the ASO. No member of the Address Council 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.
AC members 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.
4. Address Council Nominations Process
- --------------------------------------
The term of Wilfried Woeber who has served as an Address Council member for
the past three years will expire. One individual from the RIPE NCC service
region will be selected to serve on the Address Council for a term of three
years. The selection will be made through an open election process from the
set of individuals who have been nominated within this process.
Any individual may be nominated, with the exception of staff members of any
Regional Internet Registry. Self-nominations are permitted.
Nominations should be sent by email to <nominations(a)ripe.net> by midnight
CET on 9 August 2002.
The information included with a nomination is to be submitted 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 cannot be contacted via email,
or does not respond, 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 NCC 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 the selection of a nominee to serve on the Address Council
will involve an open election. The election process will be held during the
plenary session of the RIPE 43 Meeting, 9-13 September 2002, in Rhodes,
Greece. See the following URL for details about the selection procedure:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/adress_council-election.html
