[AFRINIC Communication]

[Sent on behalf of the ASO AC and IANA RC]
    
 Dear Colleagues,   
       
The ASO [1] is one of ICANN’s three Supporting Organizations. They review and develop recommendations on Internet Protocol (IP) address policy and advise the ICANN Board on policy issues relating to the operation, assignment, and management of IP addresses. The ASO Address Council (ASO AC) [2] hold monthly teleconferences, usually on the first Wednesday of each month, with exceptions to avoid clashes with Regional Internet  Registry meetings and other meetings relevant to the Internet Numbers Community.
    
Likewise, the IANA Review Committee (IANA RC) [3] advises the NRO EC in its annual review of the service level of the IANA Numbering Services provided to the Regional Internet Registries. The IANA RC hold three or four teleconference meetings each year, on dates agreed by the members to prepare their annual report.
    
The dates for the 2021 meetings of both groups are currently being updated and are available at the following links:
