Internet Coordination Policy 2 (ICP-2</a>) was developed in
2001 through the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), with
contributions from APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC. Its purpose was
to establish criteria for the recognition of new Regional
Internet Registries (RIRs), serving as a framework to guide
how RIRs are recognized and maintained.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;"><span
style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">For
more than two decades, ICP-2 has been the implicit standard
for RIR accreditation and operations. However, the Internet
ecosystem has evolved considerably since then — both in scale
and in governance complexity. Recognizing the need for
modernization, the Number Resource Organization Executive
Council (NRO EC), together with the Address Supporting
Organization Address Council (ASO AC), launched an initiative
to review and update ICP-2 to better reflect today’s
realities. Among other discussions, the Council
representatives will give a summary of the main changes
between the two versions of the RIR Governance Documents and
the rationale behind these changes. This summary of changes is
