Dear all,
Internet governance is not an issue to be settled here, if it was so, there would be no need for WSIS, WGIG, IGFs, etc.
I think that we all want an open and free Internet governed in a multistakeholder environment (which needs to be developed more).
What I said was that US government dominance over ICANN was and is a fact because of the contracts in place.
ICANN can use such criticisms to strengten its position against US goverment while struggling for its independence (and even when they come from people who were not able to participate in ICANN's meetings which take place around the world- OMG how much money would that be? And how fluent your English needs to be :) )
This is my last e-mail, I really do not see an issue to be flamed here.
Dear Khaled, your article was really good, thank you for posting it.
Dear Fahd, thank you for sharing news here, please go on.
All the best,
See you in IGF in Istanbul

Dear Fahd and Sezen, and colleagues
Fahd, well explained and well done by explaining with and without your ICANN had. Very professionally and intelligently done.
Sezen, perhaps if you read this public post Is NTIA's Transition Decision the Right Dose of Chemotherapy to Repair Trust in Multistakeholderism?<http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140317_is_ntias_transition_decision_right_doze_of_chemotherapy_to_repair/> It may give you another take and perspective on the NTIA's intent, challenges facing ICANN, and the ramifications of all this by someone who has participated in more than 40+ ICANN meetings, Sits on Advisory committees to the ICANN presidents current and past for years, and attended and participated directly in the WSIS 2001 - 2005 and all WGIG and IGFs.
I will add to what Fahd said very well, this is not just about ICANN or US government, it is about local citizens being empowered to step up and champion the Needs and Aspirations of their own people and communities, while putting their people and communities first and above their own self interest - Not easy, but when they can, they will be undefeatable. And if that means challenging ICANN to do better and more, so be it, this is what Fadi is asking for. Food for thought.
Regards
Khaled

I am not in disagreement with you Sezen, but we believe in two different approaches.
Anyways, as you said, this was the past. And as Winston Churchill said "Learn from the past to see the future".

Dear Fahd,
Thank you for explaining your observations, unfortunately I do not have enough resources to make such observations.
But I have internet access to ICANN's and IANA's web pages;
- http://www.iana.org/help/cctld-delegation: The U.S. Department of Commerce, as the Root Zone Administrator, is responsible for verifying that processing procedures have been followed, and authorising any related changes to the DNS root zone and root zone database.
- http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements : US government is the contractor.
So no matter how many people from the community worked hard, the final word always belongs the US government. I meant this fact by the term 'fact'.
But, "all these years" were past and the Community is about to change these. Then, biggest applauses and many thanks go to these folks.
All the best

Hi Sezen,
Thank you for your email.
On the term of "Perception", I used it to mean "observation" :).
Nevertheless, removing my ICANN hat (which I have been wearing for almost 6 months now) and wearing my old community hat ( which I wore for around 5 years prior to joining ICANN), I can tell you that folks from our region have barely been part of the ICANN process. While attending ICANN meetings, you come across the same old faces from the region, and when participating in the proceedings of working groups, you will find the same usual names, too. A handful of folks from the region cannot initiate a change, but 10s or even 100s of active members can.
If we want to make this transition as satisfactory as possible, everyone has to play their role. One hand cannot clap, but two hands can.
Hope that helps.
Fahd Batayneh

Dear Fahd,
Thank you very much for your e-mail.
We all have to play our roles, that is undestandable.
But, after all these years' performance (evidences are many, we all know them), how can one refer to a "fact" as a "perception", sorry but that is not understandable at least to me.
Nevertheless, applauses go to NTIA for the announcement.
All the best,
sezen

(sorry for cross posting)
Friends and Colleagues,
As there has been lots of news circulated on the U.S. Transfer of Key Internet Stewardship to Global Community, the following is a one-stop email for what has been released so far:
· NTIA Announcement -- http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions
· ICANN Announcement -- http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-14mar14-en.htm
· Reaction of Internet Technical Leaders -- http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-14mar14-en.htm
· Reaction of ICANN's BoD Chair (Video) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCvtvVZyjLA&feature=youtu.be
· Reaction of ICANN's President and CEO (Video) -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg_LD0C6ZiI&feature=youtu.be
· FAQ Sheet on the Process -- http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/functions-transfer-faqs-14mar14-en.pdf
· Public Consultation Process -- http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/functions-transfer-process-14mar14-en.pdf
As many have viewed ICANN and IANA to be US centric all these years, the time has come to change this perception by jumping on-board and engaging in the discussions. If we are to strengthen our regional Internet Governance ecosystem and domain name industry, we have to all join the discussions.
Thank you,
Fahd Batayneh
