[discuss] ICANN proposal for NTIA transition published

Wed Apr 9 01:38:10 UTC 2014

Dear all,

ICANN has released its proposal for the transition dialogue re NTIA DNS
functions.

The page and material is at
http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/transition/draft-proposal-08apr14-en.htm
.

This page includes the principles and mechanisms and seeks comment on
these, as well as a process that involves an ICANN community steering group
with an ICANN secretariat to help the discussion along.

Scope is set out in a paper linked from this page at
http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/iana-transition-scoping-08apr14-en.pdf

On a very cursory and initial read, the scope appears to not account
properly for the broad oversight or stewardship functions of the NTIA in
respect of the DNS, and rules out discussion of IANA being operated by
ICANN as part of the conversation.

best,
Jordan
