Announcement on IANA Stewardship Transition
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Oct. 3, 2016

Oct. 3, 2016

Dear Members of the At-Large Community, *The IANA Stewardship Transition is Complete* Today, on 1 October, the IANA functions contract between ICANN and NTIA expired. The expiration of the contract between ICANN and the United States National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions, will have no impact on end users of the Internet; they will not see any changes or difference in their use of the Internet. This historic moment marks the transition of the coordination and management of the Internet’s unique identifiers to the private-sector, a process that has been committed to and underway since 1998. The ICANN Community, Board and staff as well as the larger Internet community took on this challenge, over two and a half years, and succeeded. Developing the transition proposals was unprecedented, and reflected the multistakeholder community at work. Because of the hard work by everyone, the ICANN organization is now a more accountable and transparent body. There will be some small changes to how ICANN operates, but its underlying goal is the same – to support the Community and ensure the continued stable and secure operation of the DNS. It has been a privilege to be a part of this process where the multistakeholder model of Internet Governance demonstrated its power. I wanted to take a moment to thank and congratulate all of you for your hard work over the past two and a half years to get us to where we are today. Best regards, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director Links to announcements that have gone out about the IANA Stewardship transition: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2016/statement-assista nt-secretary-strickling-iana-functions-contract https://www.icann.org/news/blog/final-implementation-update https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-30-en https://www.icann.org/news/blog/cheers-to-the-multistakeholder-community
