> As part of this review process, the Number Resource Organization 
> Number Council (NRO NC) will host a webinar to share insights into the 
> next phase of the ICP-2 update. The session will introduce the second 
> draft of the “Governance Document for the Recognition, Operation, and 
> Derecognition of Regional Internet Registries 
> <https://www.nro.net/policy/internet-coordination-policy-2/rir-governance-document-version-2/>,”
