Dear Colleagues,

On 3 September, 2004, the Address Council submitted the Global Addressing Policy ASO-001-2 for the approval of the ICANN Board of Directors. The policy describes the procedure by which IANA will make IPv4 allocations to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

ASO-001-2 has been approved in accordance with the four RIR's local policy development process. As a result of that effort the policy was endorsed and submitted by the Number Resource Organization to the ASO Address Council.

The policy document can be found on the ASO website at:

Regards,

Paul Rendek ASO Secretariat
