Cheers to the Multistakeholder Community



Two and a half years ago, the ICANN multistakeholder Community embarked on a
journey to develop a globally agreed on plan to transition the U.S.
Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information
Administration’s (NTIA) stewardship of the IANA functions to the global
Internet Community. The process signaled the historic final step in
transitioning the coordination and management of the Internet’s unique
identifiers to the private-sector that began with the formation of ICANN in
1998.

The process to develop the package of transition proposals embodied the
spirit of the Internet itself – global, diverse and inclusive. People from
different economic sectors, cultures, interests and backgrounds worked
together to develop two consensus proposals that ensure the continued stable
and secure operation of the IANA services and an enhanced accountability for
ICANN. One of the proposals focused on ICANN’s transparency and
accountability. The other focused on arrangements with the three operational
communities, the Regional Internet Registries for numbers, the Internet
Engineering Task Force for protocol parameters, and the top-level domain
registries for names.

The proposal development process reflected the Community’s dedication and
commitment to achieving this historic final step. The community spent
hundreds of hours in calls and meetings and exchanged tens of thousands of
emails exploring and discussing complex governance issues, debating
different views, and eventually finding consensus. This process tested and
strengthened the trust in and across the ICANN community, and is a good
demonstration of global multistakeholder policy development working. The
resulting package of proposals has broad support
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-support-statem
ents-13sep16-en.pdf>  because it reflects the Community’s work, and
preserves the existing multistakeholder system while laying the foundation
for a more accountable and equitable balance within the ICANN ecosystem.

Today, after months of preparation and implementation of the community’s
tasks, ICANN’s contract with NTIA expired. As a result, the coordination and
management of the Internet’s unique identifiers is now privatized and in the
hands of the volunteer-based multistakeholder community.

The transition will help to ensure the continuation of a single, open
Internet that users around the world can rely on for years to come. I am
honored to be ICANN’s Chairman of the Board during this historic process.

The operational mechanisms and enhanced accountability frameworks outlined
in the proposals are enshrined in ICANN
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en> ’s new Bylaws,
which are now in effect. The ICANN Community, Board and organization will
now move forward together as a more accountable and transparent body. These
changes, while vitally important for the relationships and management of
ICANN, will have no visible effect on the operation of the Internet. The
very large ecosystem of Internet System Providers, content providers and
users will continue to function without change.

Thank you all again for your work throughout this process. I look forward to
our ongoing collaboration on further accountability and transparency
enhancements in Work Stream 2 of the Cross Community Working Group on
Enhancing ICANN Accountability, and everything else yet to come.
