The Address Supporting Organization (ASO) is one of ICANN's Supporting Organizations. It is a formal advisory body to the ICANN Board, reviewing and developing policy recommendations concerning IP Address policy.[1][2]

Overview

Established in 1999, the ASO is composed of representatives from each of the five autonomous Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), which form the Address Council (AC).[3] Three representatives are appointed from each RIR, which have their own independent election processes.[4] The Council then elects a chair who appoints the vice-chairs.

The AC is responsible for appointing two voting members to the ICANN Board. [5]

ASO History

ICANN approved the proposal at its meeting in Chile, and the ASO was subsequently created in October, 1999, when the representatives of APNIC, ARIN, RIPE NCC and ICANN signed the MoU. LACNIC was later recognized as the 4th RIR and it signed the agreement on October 30th, 2002. The Memorandum of Understanding was modified in October, 2004, and signed by ICANN and the NRO, which signed on behalf of all the RIRs. When ICANN decided to recognize AfriNIC as the fifth global RIR the representatives of AfriNIC signed the MoU, and it was incorporated as the 5th NRO member.[6]
