About the NRO NC
The NRO NC was established in October 2004 under a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU).
The MoU was negotiated between the NRO and the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). It is made up of representatives
from each of the five RIRs.
The NRO NC also performs the role of the ICANN Address Supporting
Organization (ASO) Address Council (AC). This includes:
- Undertaking a role in the global policy development
- Providing recommendations to the Board of ICANN concerning the
recognition of new RIRs
- Defining procedures for selection of individuals to serve on
other ICANN bodies
- Advising the ICANN Board on number resource allocation policy
in conjunction with the RIRs
Role of NRO NC Members
The NRO NC was established in October 2004 under a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU). The NRO NC is made up of three individuals
from each of the five RIR regions. Of these three seats, one is
filled by each RIR's Executive Council (EC). This individual acts
as a representative for the RIR, reporting regularly to their EC.
For the RIPE NCC, Wilfried
Woeber currently holds this position. His seat is being vacated
on 31 December 2008.
The remaining two positions are filled by the election of nominees
from each RIR's service region. These two members of the NRO NC act
as individuals and do not represent an RIR or act as representatives
of any organisation. One seat is currently filled by Hans Petter
Holen and the other by Dave Wilson.
No member of the NRO NC shall receive any compensation for his
or her services as an NRO NC member. NRO NC members shall, however,
at their request, be reimbursed by the NRO for actual, necessary
and reasonable travel and subsistence expenses incurred by them in
the performance of their duties.
