Given update and communicated with ICANN staff in KL. Final application expected shortly. New staff, admin assistant in Mauritius, working on business administration setup. Technical infrastructure is in place and ready to start operations.
RP clarifies that only full approval means fully independent operations.
When LACNIC received provisional approval, request flow was reversed to go to LACNIC first and then to ARIN.
AA: Happy with support from RIRs, getting all that is needed. Explanation of KL events: AFRINIC is becoming political in African governments, also African ICANN board member. Clarification happened. Getting recognition will close a lot of political discussions.
RP: Important for ICANN to realize that RIRs are more than consultants to ICANN, but full partners in the process.
RE: Suggests that AA points out our formal agreement with NRO (as opposed to individual RIRs).
RE leaving the meeting at 1300 UTC.
10. AFRINIC.net IANA issue

AP to draft mail to Vint Cerf about this.

RP: Discussion with counsel, good connections to press. Use these for “NRO story” and our take on WSIS. Real interest with big press agencies. About to flesh out this activity. We must have this firmly established in December, prior to February Geneva PrepCom on Internet Governance.
In general, joint releases should come from the NRO first, and the RIRs referring to that.
