Summary

Board approves bylaws changes prompted by the new ASO MoU.

Text

Raimundo Beca introduced a resolution:

Whereas, on 21 October 2004, ICANN entered a new Address Supporting Organization (ASO) Memorandum of Understanding that replaces the original MOU signed by ICANN and the RIRs in 1999 and amended in 2000.

Whereas, Article VIII of the Bylaws currently states that the ASO will advise the Board with respect to policy issues relating to the assignment of Internet addresses, and includes a reference the 1999 version of the ASO MOU.

Whereas, on 5 December 2004, the Board agreed to consider proposed amendments to the Bylaws that incorporate a reference to (and thus give effect to) the new ASO MOU, and directed the General Counsel to post the proposed amendments for public comments.

Whereas, the posting of the proposed amendments has been duly and timely executed in line with the Board's instructions and no substantive comments have been received during the public comment period.

Resolved (05.18) the Board adopts the proposed amendments to the Bylaws as posted, and instructs the President and General Counsel to take such actions as appropriate to implement the amendments and the new ASO MOU.

The resolution was moved by Raimundo Beca, seconded by Vanda Scartezini, and approved unanimously by the Board, 14-0.
