ICANN Address Supporting Organization Seeks Input on Updated Governance Document

14 April 2025

The ICANN Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) has completed reviewing community feedback on the proposed principles to update Internet Coordination Policy 2 (ICP-2) and incorporating it in a new draft document. The ASO AC now seeks community input on the revised document, the "Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries," to update the current version of Internet Coordination Policy 2 (ICP-2).

The proposed "Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)" ("the RIR Governance Document") sets forth

  • Rules and criteria for recognizing new RIRs
  • Operating obligations and requirements of RIRs
  • Rules and criteria for derecognizing RIRs.

If adopted by ICANN and the RIRs, the RIR Governance Document would supersede and replace the ICP-2.

For more information and to participate in the proceeding, please visit this webpage.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
