The ICP-2 created in 2001, identifies the criteria for an organisation seeking to become a new RIR. In October 2023, the Address Supporting Organization Address Council (ASO AC) was asked by the NRO Executive Council to update the ICP-2. As a next step, the ASO AC in consultation with its stakeholders worked on the proposed principles document which includes the core principles to be included in the next ICP-2 version and this was recently published. Additionally, on 8 October 2024, a survey was launched by the NRO seeking community feedback from all the RIR communities on those core principles.

Government websites and online businesses commonly use country-code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs) to reach their citizens and target local customers. Like other TLDs, ccTLDs’ security relies on a resilient domain name system (DNS) infrastructure. A robust DNS ecosystem is essential to protect against cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and to ensure continued access to online services during crises. It also boosts global trust by showcasing digital maturity.

The Internet relies on a robust and future-proof addressing system – enter IPv6 - in its ever-expanding capacity. Understanding the critical need to equip individuals with this essential knowledge, AFRINIC recently concluded its highly successful Cohort 5 of the "Zero to Certified IPv6 in 21 Days" workshop. This online training program transcended borders, welcoming a diverse audience eager to delve into the world of IPv6. The response was nothing short of astounding. The workshop's landing page witnessed a surge of interest, recording 563 hits, reflecting the growing recognition of IPv6's importance.

A few months ago we shared the outcomes that are guiding the work that we are doing as part of the NRO RPKI Program. We mentioned that we would like to know more about the community’s expectations with regard to consistency in RPKI implementation across the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) with the end goal of defining what a single, global RPKI system would look like.

RFC 9518: Centralization, Decentralization, and Internet Standards has been published after more than two years of review, discussion, and revision. It covers what centralization is, how it can be both beneficial and harmful, the decentralization strategies we typically use to control it, and finally, what Internet standards bodies can do about it. It’s no secret that most people have been increasingly concerned about Internet centralization over the last decade.

We have now broken down that purpose into more specific outcomes to guide our efforts.

Firstly, we want to gain a better understanding of what a single, global RPKI system would look like. We would like to know more about the expectations from the community in terms of consistency across the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in their RPKI implementations.

With new and emerging technologies, cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and are increasing. Information about cyber threats, also known as threat intelligence, is a significant defence component, as it contains context, indicators of compromise (IoCs), implications and advised actions regarding identified and emerging possible threats. However, the application of threat intelligence requires that good-quality data be shared by organisations and states.
