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.
