Dear colleagues, I am happy to share that the Number Resource Organization Number Council (NRO NC) has published the draft "Governance Document for the Recognition, Maintenance, and Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries" to update ICP-2: https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/rir-governance-doc... As a part of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) system, the RIPE community has been called to contribute to the ongoing global multistakeholder discussion on the revision of ICP-2. We invite you to share your feedback on this document via the RIPE Discussion list until Tuesday, 27 May 2025. The feedback received from the RIPE community during this period will be provided to the NRO NC for their consideration during the revision process of the draft RIR Governance Document. We would like to clarify that the updated criteria will continue to reflect the fundamental principles required for recognizing and evaluating new RIRs in keeping with the Internet landscape of today. There is no intention to fundamentally change or redesign the existing RIR system. We ask you to please keep the following in mind while preparing your comments: - Please share feedback that is specific to this draft - We are particularly interested in hearing your views on the new requirements in the draft - Whether the draft provides sufficient clarity regarding the ongoing obligations of an RIR and the remediation steps if the obligations are not met - This document does not address the implementation of the RIR criteria; comments on implementation will be considered out of scope - Constructive comments are highly appreciated ----------------------- Join a Session ----------------------- We invite the RIPE community to join us for the following sessions: - RIPE NCC Open House: Updating ICP-2 Tuesday, 29 April at 11:00 CEST (09:00 UTC) This session will take place online and the RIPE community representatives of the NRO NC will share information on the work done so far and introduce the draft RIR Governance Document. https://www.ripe.net/meetings/open-house/updating-icp-2/ - BoF at RIPE 90 We will hold a BoF at RIPE 90 to hear the community's input on the draft RIR Governance Document.
