The Number Resource Organization, or NRO, is a unincorporated organization which brings together the world's five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). It was originally founded in 2003 by the 4 existing RIRs, and AfriNIC joined after its creation in 2005.[1]
Objectives[edit | edit source]
The self-described aims of the NRO are:
- Protect the unallocated Internet number resource pool
- Promote and protect the bottom-up policy development process
- Act as a focal point for Internet community input into the RIR system[2]
The NRO as ASO[edit | edit source]
The NRO also functions in part as ICANN's Address Supporting Organization, or ASO. In this role the ASO makes IP address policy recommendations to ICANN.[3]
