Posted 8 April, 2014 "Call for Public Input: Draft Proposal, Based on
Initial Community Feedback, of the Principles and Mechanisms and the Process
to Develop a Proposal to Transition NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA
Functions."

 

To ensure that the eventual proposal is community-driven and enjoys broad
support, ICANN is committed to collecting and incorporating input and
feedback from the global stakeholder community. Input and feedback can be
sent at any time by posting on the ianatransition at icann.org mailing list
(archives <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ianatransition/> ).

 

 

Some of the key points in the announcement:

 

.         The deadline for comments is May 8, 2014 (midnight UTC).

.         Feedback should be submitted via the publicly archived mailing
list ianatransition at icann.org

.         NTIA established a clear framework to guide the discussion and
communicated to ICANN that the transition proposal must have broad community
support and address the following four principles:

o   Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;

o   Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS;

o   Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of
the IANA services; and

o   Maintain the openness of the Internet.

.         NTIA explicitly stated that it would not accept a proposal that
replaces the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental
organization solution.

.         The discussions in Singapore and subsequent input have confirmed
the need for a parallel but separate process to examine broader ICANN
globalization and accountability mechanisms as the proposal is developed for
the transition of NTIA's stewardship of the IANA functions: this document
does not attempt to address those mechanisms.

.         A steering group will be formed to steward the process in an open,
transparent, inclusive and accountable manner.

.         Care is taken by this selection process to ensure diversity and
regional representation and to guard against any ICANN conflict of interest.

.         The Chair of the ICANN Board and Chair of the GAC will select the
group members from this community similar to the approach used for AoC
reviews.

.         A graph on how the Steering Committee formation looks like:

.         A graph on the process looks as follows:

.         Participation is open to anyone who wishes to engage in this
process. There are many existing fora among the affected parties, and
beyond, that are engaging in dialogues at their regional events.

.         If you have suggestions for a participation opportunity not listed
in the announcement, please send them to ianatransition at icann.org.

.         There is a dedicated Twitter feed for the transition at
#IANAtransition.

 

Happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.

 

Thank you,
