Stakeholders Continue Historic Work on Internet DNS Transition at ICANN<br>
Singapore Meeting<br>

<br>
Last week, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)<br>
held its 52nd meeting in Singapore, where the global multistakeholder<br>
community continued progress on a proposal to transition the United States<br>
role related to the Internet Domain Name System.<br>
<br>
I was pleased to see the amount of energy and professionalism exhibited by<br>
the nearly 1800 participants at the ICANN meeting. The Internet's<br>
stakeholders are driving this transition and are demonstrating that<br>
businesses, technical experts, and civil society groups are best equipped to<br>
set the future direction of the Internet. Under this multistakeholder<br>
model, no one party can control the Internet or impose its will. And that's<br>
what's enabled the Internet to flourish and evolve into this global medium<br>
that has torn down barriers to free speech and fueled economic growth and<br>
innovation.<br>
<br>
It is so important that we get this transition right. If it doesn't take<br>
place, we will embolden authoritarian regimes to seek greater government<br>
control of the Internet or to threaten to fragment the Internet, which would<br>
result in a global patchwork of regulations and rules that stifle the free<br>
flow of information.<br>
<br>
Now that we are nearing the one-year anniversary of our announcement, it is<br>
important to take stock of where this transition process stands.<br>
Stakeholders have organized two major work streams to develop the overall<br>
plan: one group is focused on the specifics of the IANA functions and the<br>
second is addressing questions of the overall accountability of ICANN to the<br>
global community of Internet stakeholders.<br>
<br>
In the first track, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group<br>
(ICG), representing more than a dozen Internet stakeholder communities, is<br>
developing proposals for each of the three primary IANA functions - protocol<br>
parameters, numbering, and domain names. Two of the three stakeholder groups<br>
have already finished their draft proposals: the Internet Engineering Task<br>
Force, which is shepherding the protocol parameter proposal, and the five<br>
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), which worked collaboratively in<br>
developing the numbering proposal. The third group, the ICANN Cross<br>
Community Working Group (CWG) on the naming related functions, continues to<br>
deliberate on how best to assure effective and accountable oversight of<br>
these naming functions in NTIA's absence. Once a consolidated proposal<br>
has achieved broad community support, the ICG will transmit the final<br>
proposal to the ICANN Board for submission to NTIA.<br>
<br>
In the second track, stakeholders are working on a proposal to enhance<br>
ICANN's accountability to the global Internet community in the absence of<br>
the contractual relationship with NTIA. While it started later than the<br>
IANA transition process, the Accountability working group is making<br>
considerable progress. It's important that the two tracks remain in sync.<br>
We will only consider a coordinated and complete transition plan.<br>
<br>
While in Singapore, I participated in meetings and discussions with ICANN,<br>
other governments and the stakeholder community with respect to the<br>
transition. NTIA also continued to represent the U. S. at the meetings of<br>
ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee. In these discussions, I posed<br>
several questions for stakeholders to consider. I want to ensure that any<br>
proposal developed by the stakeholder community meets the conditions NTIA<br>
outlined last March, including: supporting and enhancing the<br>
multistakeholder model; maintaining the security, stability, and resiliency<br>
of the Internet Domain Name System; meeting the needs and expectation of the<br>
global customers and partners of the IANA services; and maintaining the<br>
openness of the Internet. In addition, I want to ensure that our role is not<br>
replaced by a government or intergovernmental organization.<br>
<br>
As both groups continue their work, any new process proposed must be tested<br>
to ensure that it actually works. The results will help inform our review of<br>
the final transition proposal.<br>
<br>
As for timing, both groups are aiming to deliver a transition plan to us in<br>
the summer. While September 2015 has been a target date, because that is<br>
when the base period of our contract with ICANN expires, we have the<br>
flexibility to extend the contract if the community needs more time to<br>
develop the best plan possible.<br>
<br>
The Internet community is undertaking truly historic work at a pivotal<br>
moment in time. I thank them for their tireless dedication to this effort.<br>
The outcome of this process will impact the way the Internet is governed for<br>
years to come.<br>
