==Public Comment and Organizational Response==
==Public Comment and Organizational Response==
Only one public comment was received on the final report during the publication period.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/public-comments/aso-review-final-2017-08-08-en Staff Report on Public Comment Period], August 8, 2017</ref> The comment recommended some resources to investigate for ranked voting systems.
The ASO AC and NRO EC published a joint response to the report in January 2018.<ref name="jointrs">[https://aso.icann.org/nro-ec-and-aso-ac-joint-response-to-the-2017-independent-aso-review-recommendations/ NRO and ASO Joint Response to the 2017 Independent Review Recommendations], January 8, 2018</ref> The joint response largely agreed to proceed with implementation of the recommendations contained in the report. On the subject of structural amendments to the ASO, the joint statement simply agrees with Recommendation 18 of the report.<ref name="jointrs" />
==Implementation Steps and Reporting==
The NRO engaged in community consultations and discussions with each RIR over the course of 2018.<ref>[https://www.nro.net/accountability/aso-and-icann-accountability/independent-aso-reviews/aso-review-2017/community-consultations/ NRO.net - ASO2 Community Consultations], last updated February 19, 2019</ref> The results of these consultations was summarized by the NRO EC in September 2018.<ref name="nrorep">[https://www.nro.net/input-by-the-nro-executive-council-on-the-public-consultation-to-determine-the-future-structure-of-the-aso/ NRO.net - Input by the NRO EC on Recommendation 18 consultations], September 5, 2018</ref> The EC synthesized the outcomes of the conversations into a set of points "as a proposed way forward:"
# The numbers community relationship with ICANN is important and should continue, but in a simplified manner;
# The numbers community should be judicious in their acceptance of ICANN-related work or obligations that fall outside the limited scope of internet number resource policies (i.e., adopt the "status quo and just say no" route proposed by ITEMS in the final report);
# The NRO will work with ICANN to explore ways to consolidate the numbers community's participation in ICANN either under the NRO or under the ASO; and
# The numbers community looks forward to future evolutions to the relationship with ICANN.<ref name="nrorep" />
The other recommendations were implemented in parallel with these ongoing consultative conversations.<ref name="impstatus">[https://www.nro.net/accountability/aso-and-icann-accountability/independent-aso-reviews/aso-review-2017/ NRO.net - Implementation Status Tracker], last updated March 16, 2021</ref> The last recommendations were deemed fully implemented as of March 2020, when the ASO's new website was launched.<ref name="impstatus" />
