[discuss] [governance] NTIA statement

Sun Mar 16 22:34:05 UTC 2014

Given this difference, why are the Brazilian government, the I*, and the 
European Commission insisting on treating US mass surveillance as a 
trigger for calling for IANA reform?

The Brazilian government lumped those two topics together for 
NetMundial, with ample encouragement from 1Net and ICANN.  The I* 
brought those two issues together in the Montevideo Declaration.  The 
European Commission in a recent press release noted:

"Recent revelations of large-scale surveillance have called into 
question the stewardship of the US when it comes to Internet Governance. 
So given the US-centric model of Internet Governance currently in place, 
it is necessary to broker a smooth transition to a more global model 
while at the same time protecting the underlying values of open 
multi-stakeholder governance of the Internet."

I can't quite grok why.

> A good performance of the IANA functions is a pre-condition that the Internet works and can be used by all kind of governmental and non_governmental players for good and bad things. The publication of a TLD zone file in the root doesn´t say anything what the Registrant of a domain name is doing with the domain. And it has nothing to do with third party´s attack on this domains by blocking, filtering, hacking, manipulating, spying etc.  The problem is that so far there not enough multi-stakeholder places where users and providers of services can go to look for (policy and technical) arrangements to counter bad things. This is one challenge for Net Mundial. It should discuss what on top of a multi-stakehoder managed technical layer (which includes the termination of the transition of the IANA function to the network of the multistakleholder I* organizations) should be done to have multi-stakehooder mechanisms on the content/political layer. We know that the two lyers are interconnec
ted, but they are two different shoes. New multistakeholder policy mechanisms will not emerge over night. But Sao Paulo can start the process and deliver a Multistakeholder Internet Governance Roadmap 2020 (MINGORO 2020).
