It must be managed by a multistakeholder system,” said Prasad. “Not only do we support multistakeholderism, but also we encourage multistakeholderism itself to embrace all geographies and all societies. We will partner with you all to make this a reality. We must work toward this new form of digital democracy.” On March 14, 2014, the United States Government announced its intent to transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. Minister Prasad’s statement of support marks not only an important milestone for the transition, but also speaks to the continued success of the multistakeholder model. “Today, with India joining this group of countries that openly support the multistakeholder model of Internet governance, we increase our ranks significantly, said ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé. “The decision that was made by India is a significant decision.” Also during the opening ceremony, NIC.AR Director Gabriel Brenta discussed how NIC.AR incorporated the multistakeholder model into their business operations, stating, “Some years ago, we decided to make NIC.AR to go through a change. And that change was in line with the developments that were taking place all over the world. What our administration was doing in terms of domain names, we wanted to reflect all those changes, all those improvements, all those developments in what we believe has been our duty since then.” ICANN also announced the winners of the 2015 Multistakeholder Ethos award - community leader Cheryl Langdon Orr and Africa Internet pioneer Nii Quaynor. The award is given to members of global Internet community who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to the multistakeholder model. More than 1,400 members of the global Internet community will meet over the course of the week, both in-person and remotely, to discuss and debate the future of ICANN and Internet governance. The meeting’s 300+ sessions are a continuation of the community’s dedication to a global, secure, stable and resilient Internet, and their hard work in ensuring the success of the IANA stewardship transition. “People have put enormous effort to make this multistakeholder effort go, and thank you. Thank you all for this effort. It will be recorded in history,” said Chehadé. Those unable to attend ICANN53 in person are highly encouraged to participate remotely. Details for doing so can be found for any of the sessions listed at https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule-full. ### To learn more about ICANN53 in Buenos Aires, please visit: https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en To download high-resolution photos of the meeting, please visit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/icann Media Contacts *Alexandra Dans* Communications Manager, LAC Montevideo, Uruguay *Tel:* +598 95 831 442 *Email:* alexandra.dans(a)icann.org *James Cole* Global Media Coordinator Washington, D.C. *Tel:* +1 202 733 7598 *Email:* james.cole(a)icann.org About ICANN ICANN's mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers. ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.

Candidate Statement
by MPSV June 15, 2015

June 15, 2015

Dear NPOC members, It is my honor to accept the nomination for Secretariat of NPOC and ask for your vote. Let me tell you about myself. I am a Lawyer in Argentina, working at my hometown university, Universidad Torquato Di Tella, and doing several projects and research with different NGO’s. One of the is AGEIA DENSI, who I represent in NPOC. With AGEIA DENSI my work is mainly research on Internet Governance critical resources like the DNS and multistake-holderism. As a lawyer I also do private consulting on my own family law-firm (mainly real-estate related clients). I’ve been working in the Internet Ecosystem issues, specially from the regulatory side and civil rights concerns, for the last years. And inside ICANN for the last two. I started in ICANN as a Fellow, the Fellowship is a program that aims to give people from developing countries, that have an appropriate profile, the opportunity to get to know ICANN from the inside. In my case I started to engage with NPOC from my first ICANN meeting. By then I was already engaged as a user in the NCUC and the NCSG. This last year, I’v been the NPOC Secretariat in a very special moment of NPOC, where the new Master Plan was prepared and lunched with an amazing success and support from all across ICANN and even outside of it. We managed to co-create a strategy for Non-for-profit and Civil Society engagement that NPOC needed to fulfill it’s multi-stakeholder duty of debating and creating DNS policy. ICANN is one of the few milestones of Internet, and the worlds economy and human rights depend on it. The role of NPOC is crucial for this mission, and the role of the Secretariat of NPOC is therefore very sensitive. It is with this in mind that I work and ask for your vote. We still have a lot of work to do, and I will work to achieve the NPOC and ICANN mission wether it is inside the ExCom or as a regular member. As Secretariat I think I can still continue to help and develop further the plans we have created and the success representation of the non-fo-profit operational concerns. Thank you for your trust and hope. Sincerely, Martín Silva Valent

Acceptance of nomination
by Joan Kerr June 12, 2015

June 12, 2015

Hello, Please find my acceptance of the Membership nomination My name is Joan Kerr and I am pleased to accept the nomination for the position of the NPOC Membership Chair. In the following paragraphs, I am providing information regarding my experience in both my professional, community and ICANN life for your review. I am a social entrepreneur, starting my first business at 17 years old and have continued on with various ventures. Because of this, I have developed a strong passion for initating and implementing projects which has strengthened my project management, community development and facilitation skills . As a philanthropist and humanitarian I have over 25 years as a community engagement innovator and implementer. Through my experience on various boards and committees and ad hoc sub-committees, have led to me drive program design and community partnerships and that create awareness, enablement and collaboration. I am happy to announce that I am the recipient of our Region's Community Partnership Award, the WSIS winner of the Civil Society Award-a collaborative project of Canada, USA and Peru. *ICANN & the Internet Experience* The Foundation for Building Sustainable Communities (FBSC), for which I am a Director, is an ALS and is represented by Glenn McKnight since 2009. Since 2012, I have attended many conferences hosted by ICANN to learn and network before becoming involved directly. From that experience and networking, I found that NPOC kindled my passion and that I was happy to utilize my skills to further the work initiated by both the current and past Committee Members. Since becoming the Membership Chair, I have worked with the NPOC Chair, Committee and Staff to verify our current membership list, created the brochure, attend all meetings by online and in person. Membership requires interaction and communication with our members, and while as Chair I will work others to build a solid base to encourage participation in NPOC as a constituency, I want to encourage each of you to assist in the growth and relevance of NPOC. It is YOU our members who will make the Committee relevant and vital. Together, we can make NPOC the educational, engagement and inclusive organization it can be. I am asking for your vote for the 2015-2016 Membership Chair. Regards, Joan Kerr

U.S. Congressional Activities with regard to ICANN and the IANA transition.
by Sam Lanfranco June 10, 2015

June 10, 2015

The U.S. Congress House of Representatives Communications and Technology Subcommittee has just voted to the following Bipartisan Legislation related to ICANN and the IANA transition. Source: http://energycommerce.house.gov/press-release/subcommtech-vote-bipartisan-l… (Press release: June 8, 2015; Vote June 10, 2015)/ Walden, Pallone, Shimkus Comment on Bipartisan Breakthrough / * WASHINGTON, DC*– The House Communications and Technology Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), today announced that it will vote Wednesday this week on H.R. 805, the Domain Openness Through Continued Oversight Matters Act <http://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF16/20150513/103448/BILLS-114805ih.pdf>. The legislation authored by Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) will protect the future of the Internet. Last year, the administration asked the International Corporation for Assigned Named and Numbers (ICANN) to convene a multistakeholder group to explore ways to transition oversight of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to the Internet community. Currently, the United States oversees the Domain Name System as part of a contract with IANA. “There are no do-overs - the world has one chance to get this right. This bipartisan legislation will ensure that any plan to transition IANA to the multistakeholder community contains the necessary safeguards to ensure these critical Internet functions do not fall into the wrong hands,” said *Walden*. “This legislation allows, and even encourages, the administration to thoughtfully work through this transition before relinquishing the United States’ important role. Congress has a role to play in its oversight of the NTIA, and this legislation properly balances respect for the multistakeholder process with our role in the U.S. government process.” “We have a bipartisan responsibility to conduct rigorous oversight of NTIA and ensure the agency lives up to its commitments for the IANA transition, added full committee *Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr.* (D-NJ). “This revised legislation renews our shared commitment to the success of the multistakeholder community and a global, open Internet.” “My position on the IANA transition has always been to ‘trust but verify,’” said *Shimkus*. “With these changes to the DOTCOM Act, we’ve reached a bipartisan agreement that gives Congress a proper oversight role without unnecessarily delaying or undermining the multistakeholder process. This transition is an important moment for the global Internet. We only have one chance to get it right and, by holding NTIA accountable to their own criteria and requirements, this legislation will help ensure we do.” “Whether spreading the seeds of democracy or connecting with friends through likes and favorites, the Internet is a powerful force for freedom and human connection. With this agreement, our members have again found the common ground necessary to advance smart policy and ensure the appropriate safeguards for the future of the Internet,” added full committee *Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI)*. “I applaud their efforts and look forward to the subcommittee’s vote later this week.” The subcommittee will consider [has passed] a bipartisan amendment to the DOTCOM Act, that would: * Require the administration to submit to Congress a report certifying that the transition plans meet the United States’ objective of global Internet openness; * Require NTIA to certify that changes to ICANN’s bylaws that the multistakeholder process has required as conditions of the transition have been implemented; * Provide safeguards designed to make ICANN more accountable to the Internet community; and * Give Congress 30 legislative days to review NTIA’s report before NTIA is permitted to relinquish its role in IANA. *_Markup Details_* - See more at: http://energycommerce.house.gov/press-release/subcommtech-vote-bipartisan-l…
