The feedback period for the proposed ICP-2 principles has officially concluded. Close to 300 responses were received from the different Internet communities associated with each Regional Internet Registry (RIR). Table 1 shows the breakdown of responses by region.
| RIR | Responses |
| APNIC (Asia Pacific) | 154 (51.7%) |
| AFRINIC (Africa) | 55 (18.5%) |
| RIPE NCC (Europe, Middle East and parts of Central Asia) | 36 (12.1%) |
| ARIN (North America and the Caribbeans) | 32 (10.7%) |
| LACNIC (Latin America and the Caribbean) | 20 (6.7%) |
| Not Applicable | 1 (0.3%) |
The questionnaire was open from 8 October to 6 December 2024. It allowed participants to share their opinions, rate each principle, and provide additional comments.
In the coming weeks, the ASO AC / NRO NC will begin qualitative analysis of the responses, which will be shared with the Internet community.
This process focuses on reviewing and updating the fundamental principles of ICP-2, a key document that defines the criteria for recognizing and evaluating RIRs. Updating these principles strengthens transparency, governance, and the operations of the RIRs, reaffirming their accountability to the global Internet community.
The ASO AC / NRO NC would like to thank everyone who participated and provided feedback during this critical process. Your contributions are essential to ensuring that these principles reflect the needs and expectations of our community.
