Section B3 of the assessment form refers to the 4 NTIA "principles" as the NTIA criteria. These are: * Support and enhance the multistakeholder model; * Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS; * Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services; and, * Maintain the openness of the Internet. In addition, however, the NTIA stated that: "NTIA will not accept a proposal that replaces the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution." I believe this should be added to B3 as a fifth criterion that must be met. Milton L Mueller Laura J. and L.
