This session will provide an overview of the rationale for the latest draft and explain the key changes from Version 2, including updates to the Recognition and Derecognition processes, audit and compliance review provisions, emergency continuity arrangements, decision-making thresholds, ICANN’s role, and new safeguards for transparency and accountability. We encourage everyone who has been following the process to update ICP-2 to join us for this online session. --------------------- Background Information --------------------- The NRO NC began the process to update and strengthen ICP-2, the Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries in 2024. Since then, it has published two draft versions and held multiple consultations with RIR communities globally and ICANN stakeholders. The publication of this third draft, the "ASO AC Recommended Draft RIR Governance Document", marks an important milestone in this process. By publishing this draft, the NRO NC has completed its work and the responsibility for completing the process now lies with the NRO Executive Council (the NRO EC): https://www.ripe.net/about-us/news/aso-ac-delivers-recommended-draft-rir-gov...
