In order to allow more time to gather community feedback on the current
Consultation on the ASO Review, we are extending the comment period to 4
May 2018.

     "The most recent ASO Review concluded with 18 recommendations,
which the NRO has resolved to accept. The first 17 recommendations are
well defined and practical, and can be implemented by actions of the NRO
Secretariat, or of the ASO Address Council, with respect to
administrative procedures, documentation, or in some cases adjustments
to agreements which are expected to be non-controversial.

     The 18th recommendation of the Report is that "The NRO should
initiate a public consultation, involving the five RIR communities, to
determine the future structure of the ASO". The NRO EC has concluded to
accept that recommendation and is hereby launching a consultation on the
issues identified in the ASO Review Report."

The full Consultation is available for review at:
