- Status: Completed
Rod Beckstrom introduced the request for Board approval of assignment to staff to monitor the policy for allocation of ASN blocks to RIRs, and the extension of time for the completion of the work.
Raymond Plzak, the Chair and Raimundo Beca each noted that this action item was presented to the Board in line with the Board's review procedures as set forth in conjunction with ICANN's MOU with the ASO.
Raymond and the Chair each noted that there might be less-time consuming way for the Board to direct ICANN staff follow the ASO's global policy proposals.
Harald Tveit Alvestrand raised the issue that items such as this, which impact the IANA Department, should be brought to the attention of the IANA Committee prior to reaching the Board level.
The Chair suggested that as part of ICANN's relationship with the RIRs and the NRO/ASO, that discussions should be had to make the staff monitoring of this type of policy more automated, without having to seek Board approval.
