We are pleased to see so many stakeholders participate in the crafting of the plan to transition NTIA’s role related to the DNS technical functions, known as the IANA functions. Everyone that benefits from the Internet has a stake in the success of the multistakeholder model and a voice in this process.</span></p></div></div></div><a href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2015/reflections-iana-stewardship-transition-process" class="">http://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2015/reflections-iana-stewardship-transition-process</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="" style="font-family: EuphemiaUCAS;"><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="" style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="" style="font-size: 13px;">Rudi Vansnick</span></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="" style="font-size: 13px;">Chair Non-for-Profit Operational Concerns Constituency (NPOC)</span></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><a href="http://www.npoc.org/" class="">www.npoc.org</a></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="mailto:rudi.vansnick@npoc.org" class="">rudi.vansnick@npoc.org</a></span></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="" style="font-size: 13px;">Tel : +32 (0)9 329 39 16</span></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="" style="font-size: 13px;">Mobile : +32 (0)475 28 16 32</span></div><div class="" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br class=""></div></div></span></div></div></body></html>
