Update on the IANA Transition: Accountability of Administration of the Stability and Security of the Global Internet
by Sam Lanfranco Feb. 8, 2016

Feb. 8, 2016

UPDATE ON THE IANA TRANSITION Two years ago the U.S. Government announced that it was preparing to hand off its role as the entity entrusted with the oversight of the administration of the stability and security of the global Internet, initiating the so-called the IANA Transition. Oversight and accountability are to be handed off to a multistakeholder process and are not to be handed over to either a multilateral entity (e.g. not ITU) or a UN organization. ICANN’s stakeholder groups have spent the past two years working on the structuring of an appropriate transition process and that work is in it its (hopefully) final stages for submission to the U.S. government. The two years have been a period of intense activity by all stakeholder groups to the process and there are vast archives on the ICANN website chronicling that work. The key issues have been boiled down to 12 recommendations from the accountability working group. For anyone who has not followed this in any detail a good place to start, and work back from, is: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/leading-into-marrakech-an-update-from-the-c… As part of NPOC’s participation in the final stages of this the NPOC Executive Committee has just supported the current/final revised wording of recommendations #1 and #11. Reference material on the state of recommendations #1 and #11 are attached to this npoc-discuss posting. If there are constituency concerns or questions around this topic and this process please feel free to post those concerns or questions here, or to me directly as Chair of the NPOC Policy Committee Sam Lanfranco, Chair, NPOC Policy Committee Email: sam(a)lanfranco.net
