===Global Policies===
The ASO does not directly develop policy on Internet number resources but instead ensures that each RIR follows its Policy Development Processes. Global policies are made when there is agreement among all of the RIRs according to their policy development processes and ICANN, and require specific actions or outcomes on the part of external ICANN-related bodies in order to be implemented.<ref>[https://aso.icann.org/about-the-aso/ About the ASO]</ref>
The ASO does not directly develop policy on Internet number resources but instead ensures that each RIR follows its Policy Development Processes. Global policies are made when there is agreement among all of the RIRs according to their policy development processes and ICANN and require specific actions on the part of [[PTI]] to be implemented.<ref>[https://aso.icann.org/about-the-aso/ About the ASO]</ref> The global numbers community uses the Global Policy Development Process (GPDP) to guide the [[PTI]] on what actions to take.
====GPDP====
# A proposed global policy can be submitted either to one of the RIR policy fora (via mail lists or public policy meeting) or to the ASO Address Council directly.
# The members of the Address Council will request that the global policy proposal be placed on the agenda for next open policy meeting in each region, in accordance with the applicable policy process.
# After consideration of the proposal at each of the RIR meetings, the staff of the RIRs will work with each other, and with the policy proposer to document the common elements of such outcomes.
#This common text will be ratified by each RIR, by methods of its own choosing.
#This ratified common text is the proposed global policy proposal that is forwarded to the ASO Address Council, which will either
#:a. pass it to ICANN for ratification as a global policy, or
#:b. advise the NRO Executive Council that the Address Council has concerns as an outcome of its review and that the proposal requires further review within the public policy development process, or
#:c. request the NRO Executive Council for an extension of time to complete the review of the proposal.
#If the AC has passed the proposal onto ICANN Board, the directors will review it and consult with the AC or RIR through the NRO as well as other ICANN bodies, if necessary.
# After 60 days, the ICANN Board will then
#:a. accept the proposal by a simple majority vote; or
#:b. reject the proposed policy by a supermajority (2/3) vote; or
#:c. by a simple majority vote request changes to the proposed policy; or
#:d. take no action, ''in which case the proposal becomes global policy''.
#If the ICANN Board rejects the proposal, it must provide the ASO a document of its reasoning and concerns within 60 days.
#After deliberation among the RIRs, the NRO Executive Council can indicate to the ASO that it may submit a modified or the same exact proposal to the ICANN Board.
#The resubmitted proposal becomes global policy unless the ICANN Board rejects it by a supermajority (2/3) vote; if it is rejected, the RIRs and ICANN enter into mediation.<ref>[https://aso.icann.org/policy/global/global-policy-development-process/ ASO GPDP]</ref>
