<p>NTIA’s responsibility includes the procedural role of administering changes 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 DNS. NTIA
currently contracts with ICANN to carry out the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions and has a Cooperative Agreement with Verisign under which it performs related root zone management functions. <i>Transitioning NTIA out of its role marks
the final phase of the privatization of the DNS as outlined by the U.S. Government in 1997.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>“The timing is right to start the transition process,” said Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information Lawrence E. Strickling. “We look forward to ICANN convening stakeholders across the global Internet community to craft an appropriate
transition plan.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">From that I understand the task to be about developing a transition plan to replace the stewardship role that NTIA performs as well as their procedural role.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">This is just wrong, Donna. The criteria the NTIA set are quite explicit and open and “don’t have a separate IANA entity” isn’t among them. More
generally, as a principle, we should do that we think is best within the criteria, and not try to second-guess what the NTIA wants, or claim to be channeling the inner wishes of the NTIA. That makes for a distorted dialogue.

happy with the current arrangement and how ICANN manages the IANA function – what they have asked the multi-stakeholder community to do is develop a mechanism that replaces the NTIA role in the process, not ICANN’s.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
