ICANN¹s role in managing these functions and the Domain Name System will not change. This call is just the beginning of a community-wide dialogue about the development of the transitional process.

I look forward to speaking with you soon, and in the future, on this important and exciting development. And please note, we had planned to talk to you about this on Sunday, but unfortunately the NTIA had to move their announcement up to today as it was leaked to the media.

ICANN News Alert -- Internet Technical Leaders Welcome IANA Globalization Progress

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-14mar14-en.htm ________________________________ Internet Technical Leaders Welcome IANA Globalization Progress 14 March 2014 The leaders of the Internet technical organizations responsible for coordination of the Internet infrastructure (IETF, IAB, RIRs, ccTLD ROs, ICANN, ISOC, and W3C), welcome the US Government's announcement of the suggested changes related to the IANA functions contract. The roles on policy development processes of the Internet technical organizations and ICANN's role as administrator of the IANA functions, remain unchanged. The transition of the US Government stewardship has been envisaged since the early days of IANA functions contract. This transition is now feasible due to the maturity of the Internet technical organizations involved in performing their respective roles related to the IANA functions, and ICANN will facilitate a global, multi-stakeholder process to plan for the transition. The strength and stability of the IANA functions within the above organizations (which make up the Internet technical community) are critical to the operation of the Internet. The processes around the IANA functions have always been carefully specified in the communities that our organizations represent. The IANA functions are faithfully administered by ICANN. We are committed to continuing our proven, community-driven processes as we engage in this transition. Our communities are already considering proposals to progress the transition. Our organizations are committed to open and transparent multi-stakeholder processes. We are also committed to further strengthening our processes and agreements related to the IANA functions, and to building on the existing organizations and their roles. The Internet technical community is strong enough to continue its role, while assuming the stewardship function as it transitions from the US Government. Participating Leaders * Adiel A.

ICANN News Alert -- Administrator of Domain Name System Launches Global Multistakeholder Accountability Process
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 14, 2014

March 14, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/releases/release-14mar14-en ________________________________ Administrator of Domain Name System Launches Global Multistakeholder Accountability Process Press Briefing Scheduled with Board Chair and CEO 14 March 2014 Los Angeles, California… The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today launched a process to transition the role of the United States Government relating to the Internet's unique identifiers system. ICANN's announcement comes on the heels of an historic announcement today by the U.S. Government stating that it is ready to transfer its stewardship of the important Internet technical functions to the global Internet community. The U.S. Government's current responsibilities to be transitioned include the procedural role of administering changes to the Domain Name System's (DNS) to the authoritative root zone file - the database containing the lists of names and addresses of all top-level domains – as well as serving as the historic steward of the unique identifiers registries for Domain names, IP addresses, and protocol parameters. In doing so, the U.S. recognized ICANN's maturation in becoming an effective multistakeholder organization and requested that ICANN convene the global community to develop the transition process from of the U.S. stewardship to a global community consensus-driven mechanism. "We are inviting governments, the private sector, civil society, and other Internet organizations from the whole world to join us in developing this transition process," said Fadi Chehadé, ICANN's President and CEO. "All stakeholders deserve a voice in the management and governance of this global resource as equal partners." Independent of the U.S. transition, the roles of the Internet technical organizations, including ICANN's role as administrator of the Internet's unique identifier system, remain unchanged. The Internet's Unique Identifier functions are not apparent to most Internet users, but they play a critical role in maintaining a single, global, unified and interoperable Internet. "Even though ICANN will continue to perform these vital technical functions, the U.S. has long envisioned the day when stewardship over them would be transitioned to the global community," said Dr. Stephen D. Crocker, ICANN's Board Chair. "In other words, we have all long known the destination. Now it is up to our global stakeholder community to determine the best route to get us there." "The global multistakeholder process is defined by inclusion, and it will take some time to make sure that we obtain all of the necessary inputs," said Chehadé. "By the time the current contract with the U.S. Government expires in September 2015, we will have a defined and clear process for global multistakeholder stewardship of ICANN's performance of these technical functions." The first community-wide dialogue about the development of the transitional process will begin March 23-27 during ICANN's 49th Public Meeting, in Singapore. All global stakeholders are welcome to participate in person or remotely. ## To see more about the IANA Functions survey go here: http://www.icann.org/en/news/press/releases/release-15jan14-en Press Briefing Note: Because of the historic nature of this announcement, ICANN Board Chair Dr. Stephen D. Crocker and ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé will make themselves available to answer journalists' questions during a 1-hour press briefing. Details are: Date/Time: Friday, 14 March 2014 at 11PM UTC / 7PM U.S. EDT Telephone Access Numbers: International access numbers may be obtained here - www.adigo.com/icann<http://www.adigo.com/icann>. Once you have reached the conferencing center, dial 25594#. Journalist Questions: Because there are likely to be many journalists joining this briefing, upon calling in, your line will be muted. If you have a question, please hit #3 and tell the conference operator the following: * Your name. * Your news organization. * The city and country from which you are calling. * The conference operator will notify the moderator, who will then introduce you. * Your line will be unmuted and you may ask your question.
