Dear colleagues, The RIRs participate within ICANN through the Address Supporting Organization (ASO). A review of the ASO was carried out earlier this year by an independent consultancy. The review produced a report with a number of recommendations and proposed options, which you can find here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/ASO-Review-Report-2017.pdf At RIPE 75 last week, we gave an overview of the report, along with the three proposed options. You can find this presentation here: https://ripe75.ripe.net/presentations/137-RIPE-75-ASO-Review.pdf We invite RIPE community members to read the report and send any feedback or comments to this mailing list. The deadline for comments is 30 November 2017. Kind regards Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
