===Ad Hoc Group on Future Numbering Policies===

Following up on actions taken at [[ICANN 3]], the board approved the charter for an ad hoc group on future numbering policies.<ref name="charter">[https://archive.icann.org/en/committees/adhoc/draft-charter-03nov99.htm ICANN.org Archives - Charter, Ad Hoc Group on Future Numbering Policies], November 1999</ref> The charter was succinct and grounded in an expectation that the group would not solve all of the issues that it identified:

<blockquote>The ad hoc group should identify the key technology, commercial and economic drivers that will affect addressing and numbering in the Internet. Recognising the risks of specifying modifications to core Internet technologies in a small group that inevitably understands some elements of the picture better than others, the group will identify issues, problems, risks, and opportunities, but is not expected to propose, much less adopt, technical solutions to them. The assessment must include current trends in services and network convergence and globalisation, particularly those emerging from the telecommunications sector, as well as changes in the demands on traditional IP address space. Examples of technology forces to be considered include IMT 2000, 3GPP, and Bluetooth. The group will examine and identify any characteristics of these applications that they believe are so unusual as to challenge the Internet's technical tradition of an application-independent basic architecture for addressing and routing structures.
