[CCWG-ACCT] [Info] "Controlling Internet infrastructure"

[David Post]

All

[Apologies for cross-posting to the various lists]

Danielle Kehl and I have just published a background paper on the 
IANA transition for the Open Technology Institute 
- 
<http://www.newamerica.org/oti/controlling-internet-infrastructure/>http://www.newamerica.org/oti/controlling-internet-infrastructure/ 


There probably isn't a great deal in there that those of you who are 
already participants on this list are unfamiliar with.  The target 
audience comprises those people who have not been following DNS 
policy matters and who know nothing or next-to-nothing about ICANN, 
or IANA, or the DNS.  We hope we've filled a gap in the existing 
writings on the subject, something  that can help someone who is 
completely unfamiliar with the territory to understand just what is 
going on with the IANA transition, and why it matters as much as we 
think it does for the Internet going forward --

Needless to say, please feel free to re-circulate to anyone you think 
might find it useful - even your local Congressperson!  And comments 
etc. are always welcome -

There will be a second piece coming out shortly that will dive more 
deeply into the specifics of the various proposals now under 
consideration, with particular attention on the "accountability" discussions -

Regards,

David
