<span style="font-family: Calibri;" class="">At the Internet Society’s InterCommunity Forum yesterday, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Larry Strickling delivered a strong endorsement of the multistakeholder model. Strickling voiced his support for the work
the global Internet community has done over the past two years on the IANA stewardship transition. As the debate on the transition continues in the United States Congress, I believe it is important for us to echo his support for the work of the global Internet
community. Let's keep on having our voices heard loud and clear!</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
