Under the terms of the MoU signed between the ICANN and the RIRs in October 2004, the
NRO Number Council now performs the role of the Address Supporting Organization - Address

to the NRO MoU, the NC must be composed of two members selected by the regional policy
forum of each of the RIRs and one must be appointed by the board of each RIR.

Since AfriNIC is now a fully accredited Regional Internet Registry, three representatives had to
be elected at the AfriNIC-2 meeting according to the election process online at:
