I see that Izumi has already provided a link. Here's another link with the
attachment intact.

The parties to this MOU are expressed to be ICANN and NRO.

It was signed by the then chair of the NRO EC, as well as by each of the RIR
(this document pre-dates the establishment of AFRINIC, but AFRINIC
subsequently acceded to its terms when it joined the NRO upon its creation).

Yes, the MOU is still current, and still has legal effect.
