Short content description
-------------------------

On 8 April 2005, during the ICANN Board meeting in Mar del Plata,
Argentina, the ICANN Board formally approved the adoption of a global
policy on IANA Allocation of IPv4 address space to the Regional
Internet Registries developed by the Address Supporting Organisation
(ASO) and the Number Resource Organisation (NRO).

The ICANN Board resolution is available from the ICANN website at:

The document "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Policies for
Allocation of IPv4 Blocks to Regional Internet Registries" describes
the policy governing the allocation of IPv4 address space from the
IANA to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
