The NRO was originally formed on 24 October 2003, when the 4 original [[RIR]]s entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). [[AFRINIC]] signed the MoU and joined the NRO shortly after it was incorporated in April 2005.

On 31 October 2003, the RIRs sent an Open Letter, which notified ICANN of the NRO's formation and proposed the formation of the [[Address Supporting Organization]] (ASO).

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ccTLDs. Our community is working together on surfacing information about these stakeholders, including going over documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information.

Where to start

Getting started is as simple as requesting an account, which will be approved as long as it does not appear to be intended for spam or malice. Then, make sure to read our short content guide to get a feel for what belongs in the wiki. You may also want to have a look at some data source suggestions on where to find reliable data. That's it, happy editing!
