<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">On 14 March 2014, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced its intention to transition key Internet functions to the global multi-stakeholder
community. The NTIA requested that ICANN "convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black">During discussions around the transition process, the community raised the broader topic of the impact of the change on ICANN's accountability given its historical contractual
relationship with the United States and NTIA. Accountability in this context is defined, according to the
