The document discusses the IANA stewardship transition process. It provides background on the historical role of the US government in overseeing the IANA functions and ICANN. Currently, the NTIA contracts with ICANN to perform the IANA functions through the IANA functions contract, and also has an Affirmation of Commitments with ICANN. The RIRs have proposed different models for enhancing accountability of the IANA functions operator after the transition. Discussions are ongoing on proposals to develop a multistakeholder oversight mechanism.

AFRINIC is responsible for managing internet number resources like IP addresses and autonomous system numbers in Africa. It allocates these resources to members according to policies developed by the AFRINIC community through an open policy development process. To become an AFRINIC member and obtain number resources, an organization must meet criteria like being legally incorporated in Africa and having infrastructure on the continent. The membership process involves applying online, having the application evaluated, signing a registration services agreement, and paying fees before resources are allocated.

The document provides an agenda and overview of a newcomers session that discusses the internet ecosystem in Africa and the role of organizations like AFRINIC. It introduces AFRINIC's mission to manage internet number resources professionally and efficiently for the African community. It outlines AFRINIC's governance structure, membership types, activities and initiatives like IPv6 training, the government working group, and public mailing lists.

The document discusses several proposed updates and clarifications to AFRINIC's internet number resource policies. Key proposals include establishing mechanisms for IPv4 and ASN transfers between regions, clarifying policies around IPv6 and temporary resource usage, and reviewing member's IPv4 resources to identify non-compliance. Community participation is encouraged by subscribing to mailing lists and attending biannual meetings to propose policies and voice opinions.

1. The SIP Parity Activity Group focuses on enabling migration from H.323 to SIP by providing a video profile for SIP that matches H.323 capabilities and developing best practice documents. 2. A recent interoperability testing event discovered an issue with RTCP feedback interoperability that will require updating the SIP Video Best Practice document. 3. Participation and successful testing results increased in the most recent testing event, though pass rates decreased, and interoperability of newer features like role-based video and security need continued improvement.

This document discusses how companies of all sizes can leverage OpenStack-based private clouds. It provides an overview of IBM's private cloud offerings, including managed hosted private clouds, managed dedicated private clouds hosted in the IBM cloud data center, and Bluemix private clouds both with community edition cloud infrastructure and locally hosted in the customer's data center. It also discusses the division of responsibilities between IBM and customers and why IBM is well-positioned to provide private cloud solutions. The document then shares two customer examples that leveraged IBM's private cloud offerings to meet their needs. Finally, it discusses how Cloudsoft has used IBM's Bluemix private cloud globally to test their application management platform.
