Dear colleagues,

Last week, the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) published the draft "RIR Governance Document" intended to update ICP-2, the document that establishes the criteria to recognise Regional Internet Registries. 

This draft is the outcome of the NRO NC's review of ICP-2, the publication of draft principles to update it and subsequent community feedback on those principles. The draft includes details related to governance, ecosystem, life cycle, recognition and operation of RIRs. It also outlines principles for the potential ‘derecognition’ of an RIR if it fails to adhere to the established criteria. 

The document is available at:

We invite you to join our online session, "RIPE NCC Open House: Updating ICP-2" with Hervé Clément, Andrei Robachevsky and Constanze Bürger, the NRO NC representatives from the RIPE NCC service region.

We are also planning a BoF during RIPE 90. We will share the details once the agenda has been published.

We hope to see you at the Open House!

Kind regards,
Romain
