3. Keith Mitchellhttp://www.ripe.net/ RIPE ncc Some Principles m Ensure success of ICANN m Don’t fix what works already m Changes should bring benefits m Protect European interests from marginalisation m Prevent Addressing from being sidelined by Naming

4. Keith Mitchellhttp://www.ripe.net/ RIPE ncc Outstanding Issues (1) m No need in RIPE or AP regions for “at-large” members of ASO m We believe any “at-large” representation should fit into established regional structures, not new global ones m ARIN need to resolve how to deal with this

5. Keith Mitchellhttp://www.ripe.net/ RIPE ncc Outstanding Issues (2) m NCC Board have some concerns about changes between ICANN v5 & v6 bye- laws which limit SO voting rights m Made to avoid “capture” m possibly better ways to do this m not likely to be changeable m Should not be any more “surprises” from ICANN board

6. Keith Mitchellhttp://www.ripe.net/ RIPE ncc Current Status m ASO proposal for 5th Feb deadline not achievable m Meeting between subset of RIR board members to produce consensus proposals shortly m Will create new RIPE mailing list to announce and discuss this
