ASO Policy Development
![Page 31: How you can help shape the future of the Internet...How you can help shape the future of the Internet Savenaca Vocea Manager Regional Relations – Australasia/Pacific Islands A presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022063023/5feb125ef94101418a5f85d9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The ASO and Global policies
• ASO is the Address Supporting Organization, set up through an MoU between ICANN and the Number Resource Organization (NRO)
• One major task of the ASO is to handle proposed “Global Policies”, that affect IANA’s handling of addressing resources
31
![Page 32: How you can help shape the future of the Internet...How you can help shape the future of the Internet Savenaca Vocea Manager Regional Relations – Australasia/Pacific Islands A presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022063023/5feb125ef94101418a5f85d9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The RIRs and the NRO
• RIRs, Regional Internet Registries receive addresses from IANA and allocate them on the regional level
• The five RIRs are AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE
• They cooperate through the NRO, the Number Resource Organization
32
![Page 33: How you can help shape the future of the Internet...How you can help shape the future of the Internet Savenaca Vocea Manager Regional Relations – Australasia/Pacific Islands A presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022063023/5feb125ef94101418a5f85d9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The RIRs and policy development
• All RIRs develop policies through open, bottom-up processes for the region they serve
• Few policies affect IANA – only those are “Global Policies”
• Global policies must be agreed in all RIRs, channeled through the ASO and ratified by the ICANN Board before implementation
