Summary
Board grants provisional approval of AFRINIC's application and transition plan.
Text
Whereas ICANN has previously adopted a set of procedures and standards for the receipt and evaluation of applications for recognition as a regional Internet registry (RIR), as authorized by the Board in resolution 01.68;
Whereas an application for recognition, together with a detailed transition plan – including draft bylaws, policies, funding model, and staff resumes – have been submitted to ICANN by the ARRINIC organization;
Whereas the President has conducted a preliminary evaluation and concluded that the application and transition plan constitute a reasonable basis for eventual recognition, while noting that some adjustments might be necessary;

Resolved [04.83] that the President is directed to continue working closely with AFRINIC, ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC, through the NRO, to assist in a smooth transition and the preparation of a revised application for full recognition of AFRINIC in conformance with the criteria set forth in ICP-2 and the then current version of the ASO Memorandum of Understanding.
