You may remember that APNIC, together with the other Regional Internet Registries (RIR), ARIN and the RIPE NCC, submitted this proposal for ICANN to consider at their August 26th Board meeting in Santiago, Chile. We are happy to report that ICANN accepted this proposal. The proposal is documented at http://www.apnic.net/news/icann/proposal.html and the ICANN acceptance is documented at http://www.icann.org/santiago/ santiago-resolutions.htm We are now moving on to the next steps in the process. The APNIC Executive Council will be working with the other RIR Boards to draft the Memorandum of Understanding that will form the ASO. In addition we need to progress with the selection of nominations for the Address Council. A formal call for nominations will be published on Monday 6th September, detailing the process we will adopt in this initial formation of the Council. We would like to extend a sincere thank you for your continued support in this lengthy and involved process, and trust that you will seriously consider nominating suitably qualified individuals to serve the Asia Pacific Internet Community in the capacity as members of the Address Council.

This document describes the functions of the ASO, the Address Council and the role of the council members, as well as describing the process that will be followed in the selection of Address Council members. If you are interested in nominating an individual for this role, or if you are interested in being nominated as a member of the Address Council, please read through this document carefully. 1. The Address Supporting Organization -------------------------------------- The ASO will be created though a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will be executed between the current Regional Internet Registries and ICANN. The ASO is to be a consensus-based advisory body established within the ICANN Framework. The ICANN bylaws assign to the ASO the responsibility for the development of global policies relating to the distribution and registration of Interent address space, inter-domain routing identifiers and that part of the DNS name space that is used to name these addresses and identifiers. Normally, proposals for global policies within the area of ASO responsibility will be developed within the context of the RIRs' policy development forums and then forwarded to ICANN through the ASO. Submissions by interested parties and other ICANN bodies will also be considered by the ASO. The ASO is also responsible for the appointment of a number of Directors to ICANN, in accordance with the bylaws of ICANN. The ASO will conduct its business in an open and transparent fashion. 2. The Address Council ---------------------- The Address Supporting Organization will create an Address Council to manage its business functions. Each RIR will select 3 individuals to serve as members of the Address Council, using an open and transparent procedure. The members of the Address Council will manage the process of the development of policy in areas defined as being the responsibility of the ASO, using the MoU-defined procedures as a guideline. Specifically, this will include the periodic hosting of an open General Assembly of the ASO, as well as the management of policy development activities. The other major aspect of the role of the Address Council is the appointment of Directors to the ICANN Board of Directors. The Address Council will follow the procedures described in the MoU, using an open call for nominations and an open process of selection. 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. The initial terms of appointment will be staggered terms of 1, 2, and 3 years to ensure that one third of the Address Council is appointed each year. No member of the Address Council shall be entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of expenses from the ASO. No member of the Address Council shall be imdemnified by the ASO, nor will the ASO obtain insurance coverage relating to the liability of the actions of members of the Address Council. Council members shall not represent any RIR, nor shall they act as a representative of any other body. The Council members are appointed in their individual capacity, and their membership shall not be proxied by any other individual or organization. One of the major tasks for the initial members of the Address Council shall be the development of appropriate open and transparent processes relating to the appointment of future members of the Address Council, and the adoption of procedures for the selection of appointments to the ICANN Board of Directors. 4. Address Council Nominations Process -------------------------------------- Three individuals from the Asia Pacific Region will be selected to serve as initial members of the Address Council. The selection will be made from the set of individuals who have been nominated within this process. Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception of any staff member of any Regional Internet Registry. Self-nominations are permitted. Nominations are to be made by completing and submitting the form at http://www.apnic.net/aso/nominate.html . For further information, please see http://www.apnic.net/aso/ . All nominations must be submitted on or before 27 September 1999 and must be in English. All nominees will be contacted via email to confirm their willingness to serve as an Address Council member. If the nominee is not contactable via email then the nomination will not be confirmed. All confirmed nominations will be listed on the APNIC web site as soon as they are confirmed. A procedure to allow others to express support for nominated individuals will be published on this web site. The criteria for selection will include the individual's experience in serving the Internet community in the Asia Pacific region, expressions of support, familiarity with the intended roles of ICANN and the ASO, familiarity with the role of APNIC, residence in the Asia Pacific region, support from the individual's employer to the time and resource commitment required to discharge the duties of this role, and geographic diversity of the three individuals from within the Asia Pacific region. For reasons of the relatively short time allowed for the selection process for this initial Address Council, the members' Executive Committee of APNIC will select three individuals to serve on the Address Council. The Executive Council will take into account the criteria listed here. The basis of the decision will be documented in a selection report that will be published on the APNIC web site. The selected individuals will be announced on 4 October 1999.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the non-profit corporation that was formed to take over responsibility for the IP address space allocation, protocol parameter assignment, domain name system management, and root server system management functions previously performed under US Government contract by IANA and other entities. The Board of ICANN will be composed of nineteen Directors, nine At-Large Directors, nine to be nominated by Supporting Organizations, and the President/CEO (ex officio). Further details on the composition and responsibilities of ICANN are to be found on the ICANN website at http://www.icann.org. Intending nominees are strongly urged to read the ICANN Corporate Documents and other ICANN published material. The Address Supporting Organization (ASO) will have the responsibility for nominating three ICANN Directors, as noted in the ICANN ByLaws, Art. V. at http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#V. This responsibility will, in the normal course of events, be conducted through an open process managed by the Address Council, a body created by the ASO to manage the business of the ASO. For the initial ASO nominations to the ICANN Board, the ASO will nominate three Directors to serve terms of 1, 2, and 3 years. ASO Nominations Process for ICANN Directors ------------------------------------------- The ASO nominations process for ICANN Directors is being initiated by the Regional Internet Registries through an open call for nominations. This is an initial action to start up the process and, for future years, this process will be managed by the Address Council on behalf of the ASO. This announcement describes only the call for nominations within the Asia-Pacific region, a call that will be managed by APNIC. The process of selection of the initial ASO nominated ICANN Directors will be defined and managed by the Address Council. Any individual may be nominated within this process, with the exception of any official of a national government or a multinational entity established by treaty or other agreement between national governments (ICANN ByLaws Art. V., Sec 5.). Self-nominations are permitted. Nominations are to be made by completing and submitting the "ICANN Board - Nomination" Form at http://www.apnic.net/icann/nominate.html . All nominations must be submitted on or before 1 October 1999 and must be in English. All nominees will be contacted via email to confirm their willingness to serve as an ICANN Director. If the nominee is not contactable via email then the nomination will not be confirmed. The nominee must explicitly confirm the nomination for the nomination to be considered confirmed. All confirmed nominations will be listed on the APNIC web site (see http://www.apnic.net/icann/) as soon as they are confirmed (the list will be updated at 30 minute intervals). Those wishing to express support for any individuals who have been nominated should use the "ICANN Board - Support of Nomination" Form at http://www.apnic.net/icann/support.html. The list of nominated individuals and the supporting comments will be passed to the Address Council on 4 October 1999. -- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + APNIC Secretariat Tel: +61-7-3367-0490 Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) Ltd Fax: +61-7-3367-0482 Level 1, 33 Park Road, PO Box 2131, Milton, QLD 4064, Australia + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + * APNIC-ANNOUNCE: Announcements concerning APNIC * * To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe" to apnic-announce-request@apnic.net * From owner-apnic-announce@ns.apnic.net Wed Sep 15 06:52:42 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by ns.apnic.net (8.9.1a/8.9.1) id GAA18492; Wed, 15 Sep 1999 06:44:09 GMT Received: from int-gw.staff.apnic.net (guardian.apnic.net [203.37.255.100]) by ns.apnic.net (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id GAA18486; Wed, 15 Sep 1999 06:44:08 GMT Received: (from mail@localhost) by int-gw.staff.apnic.net (8.9.1a/8.9.1) id GAA20481; Wed, 15 Sep 1999 06:44:07 GMT Received: from julubu.staff.apnic.net(192.168.1.37) by int-gw.staff.apnic.net via smap (V2.1) id xma020477; Wed, 15 Sep 99 16:44:04 +1000 Received: (from bc@localhost) by julubu.staff.apnic.net (8.8.7/UW7.1.0) id QAA14695; Wed, 15 Sep 1999 16:46:13 +1000 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: julubu.staff.apnic.net: bc set sender to secretariat@apnic.net using -f Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 16:46:13 +1000 (EST) From: APNIC Secretariat To: apnic-announce@ns.apnic.net, apnic-members@ns.apnic.net Subject: [apnic-announce] ADDRESS SPACE POLICY DOCUMENT - FINAL DRAFT PENDING EC APPROVAL Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-apnic-announce@apnic.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: apnic-talk@apnic.net [Note "reply-to:" field] POLICIES FOR ADDRESS SPACE MANAGEMENT IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION: FINAL DRAFT RELEASED, PENDING EC APPROVAL Previous drafts of the document "Policies for Address Space Management in the Asia Pacific Region" were released and publicly announced on 5 February 1999, 3 March 1999, and 30 June 1999.
