Slide 13 of 25
Notes:
- Graph shows how the RIPE NCC stands in the Global context - more as an organisational structure
IANA - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
- used to have authority over all names and numbers
NOW - IANA is incorporated into ICANN and the structure is more formalised
ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Numbers and Names
- ALL supporting organisations have a specific area of expertise
- ASO makes policy recommendations to ICANN
all RIRs are members of the ASO
policy developed bottom-up structure (using existing OPEN processes)
in our region this is done by the LIR-WG or RIPE.
RIPE & RIPE NCC are very interdependent organisations
- a lot of input from RIPE / Activity Plan is basically determined in RIPE
