Established two inclusive and open processes, one to outline how best to facilitate the succession of <abbr title="US National Telecommunications and Information Agency" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">NTIA</abbr>’s

and a second to ensure that <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> remains

Discussed, debated, organized or planned these processes at over 1,100 events around the world.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; margin: 0px 0px 15px 20px;">

Reaching a point of consensus was not easy, as anyone who was involved in this process can attest. As one of the leaders in this process stated, it’s often painful, lengthy and often takes detours. However, meeting this challenge defines the multistakeholder
model, and is one of the reasons the Internet has become the global platform for economic and social growth it is today.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">
