ICANN Public Comment Forum
ICANN-RIR Relationship Agreement
ICANN and the Regional Internet Registries (APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC) have negotiated an agreement regarding their relationship, roles, responsibilities, and procedures relating to Internet Protocol (IP) address management and global IP address management policies. Before finalization and entry, the relationship agreement is being posted for comment by the ICANN community. This web-based forum has been established to receive comments from the community.
The Regional Internet Registries have noted that ICANN's ongoing evolution and reform process may result in outcomes for ICANN that could affect on the ability of the parties to complete their commitments as documented in the draft agreement. Accordingly, consideration of this agreement will be coordinated with the ICANN evolution and reform process.
