The U.S. Government’s current responsibilities to be transitioned include the procedural role of administering changes to the Domain Name System’s (DNS) to the authoritative root zone file - the database containing the lists of names and addresses of all top-level domains – as well as serving as the historic steward of the unique identifiers registries for Domain names, IP addresses, and protocol parameters.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>In doing so, the U.S. recognized ICANN’s maturation in becoming an effective multistakeholder organization and requested that ICANN convene the global community to develop the transition process from of the U.S. stewardship to a global community consensus-driven mechanism.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>“We are inviting governments, the private sector, civil society, and other Internet organizations from the whole world to join us in developing this transition process,” said Fadi Chehadé, ICANN’s President and CEO. ”All stakeholders deserve a voice in the management and governance of this global resource as equal partners.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Independent of the U.S. transition, the roles of the Internet technical organizations, including ICANN’s role as administrator of the Internet’s unique identifier system, remain unchanged. The Internet’s Unique Identifier functions are not apparent to most Internet users, but they play a critical role in maintaining a single, global, unified and interoperable Internet.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>“Even though ICANN will continue to perform these vital technical functions, the U.S. has long envisioned the day when stewardship over them would be transitioned to the global community,” said Dr. Stephen D.

Now it is up to our global stakeholder community to determine the best route to get us there.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>“The global multistakeholder process is defined by inclusion, and it will take some time to make sure that we obtain all of the necessary inputs,” said Chehadé. “By the time the current contract with the U.S. Government expires in September 2015, we will have a defined and clear process for global multistakeholder stewardship of ICANN’s performance of these technical functions.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The first community-wide dialogue about the development of the transitional process will begin March 23-27 during ICANN’s 49<sup>th</sup>Public Meeting, in Singapore.

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers. ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.</span></em><strong><i><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> For more information please visit: </span></i></strong><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.icann.org/"><em><b><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>www.icann.org</span></b></em></a><em><b><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>.</span></b></em></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>If you would rather not receive future communications from ICANN, let us know by clicking <a href="http://icann.pr-optout.com/OptOut.aspx?523509x19831x99191x1x3785396x24000x6&Email=david.olive%40icann.org">here.</a><br>ICANN, 12025 Waterfront Drive Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 90094-2536 United States<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'> </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Best regards, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>David<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'> </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;color:black'>--</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;color:black'>David A.
