The roles on policy development processes of the Internet technical organizations and ICANN's role as administrator of the IANA functions, remain unchanged. The transition of the US Government stewardship has been envisaged since the early days of IANA functions contract. This transition is now feasible due to the maturity of the Internet technical organizations involved in performing their respective roles related to the IANA functions, and ICANN will facilitate a global, multi-stakeholder process to plan for the transition. The strength and stability of the IANA functions within the above organizations (which make up the Internet technical community) are critical to the operation of the Internet. The processes around the IANA functions have always been carefully specified in the communities that our organizations represent. The IANA functions are faithfully administered by ICANN. We are committed to continuing our proven, community-driven processes as we engage in this transition. Our communities are already considering proposals to progress the transition. Our organizations are committed to open and transparent multi-stakeholder processes. We are also committed to further strengthening our processes and agreements related to the IANA functions, and to building on the existing organizations and their roles. The Internet technical community is strong enough to continue its role, while assuming the stewardship function as it transitions from the US Government. Participating Leaders * Adiel A. Akplogan, CEO African Network Information Center (AFRINIC) * Barrack Otieno, Manager, The African Top Level Domains Organization (AFTLD) * Paul Wilson, Director General Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) * Don Hollander, General Manager Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association (APTLD) * John Curran, CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) * Peter Van Roste, General Manager, Council for European National Top Level Domain Registries (CENTR) * Russ Housley, Chair Internet Architecture Board (IAB) * Fadi Chehadé, President and CEO Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) * Jari Arkko, Chair Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) * Kathy Brown, President and CEO Internet Society (ISOC) * Raúl Echeberría, CEO Latin America and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC) * Carolina Aguerre, General Manager, Latin American and Caribbean TLD Association (LACTLD) * Axel Pawlik, Managing Director Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) * Jeff Jaffe, CEO World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) _______________________________________________ ALAC-Announce mailing list ALAC-Announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac-announce At-Large Official Site: http://www.atlarge.icann.org

Kenya's Internet domain market set for a shakeup - Part II
by Grace Githaiga 15 Mar '14

NTIA Announces Intent to Transition Key Internet Domain Name Functions Topics: ICANNDomain Name SystemPrinter-friendly version FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 14, 2014News Media Contact: NTIA, Office of Public Affairs, (202) 482-7002, press(a)ntia.doc.gov WASHINGTON – To support and enhance the multistakeholder model of Internet policymaking and governance, the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) today announces its intent to transition key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community. As the first step, NTIA is asking the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to convene global stakeholders to develop a proposal to transition the current role played by NTIA in the coordination of the Internet’s domain name system (DNS). NTIA’s responsibility includes the procedural role of administering changes to the authoritative root zone file – the database containing the lists of names and addresses of all top-level domains – as well as serving as the historic steward of the DNS. NTIA currently contracts with ICANN to carry out the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions and has a Cooperative Agreement with Verisign under which it performs related root zone management functions. Transitioning NTIA out of its role marks the final phase of the privatization of the DNS as outlined by the U.S. Government in 1997. “The timing is right to start the transition process,” said Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information Lawrence E. Strickling. “We look forward to ICANN convening stakeholders across the global Internet community to craft an appropriate transition plan.” ICANN is uniquely positioned, as both the current IANA functions contractor and the global coordinator for the DNS, as the appropriate party to convene the multistakeholder process to develop the transition plan. NTIA has informed ICANN that it expects that in the development of the proposal, ICANN will work collaboratively with the directly affected parties, including the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), the Internet Society (ISOC), the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), top level domain name operators, VeriSign, and other interested global stakeholders. NTIA has communicated to ICANN that the transition proposal must have broad community support and address the following four principles: Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS;Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services; and, Maintain the openness of the Internet. Consistent with the clear policy expressed in bipartisan resolutions of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives (S.Con.Res.50 and H.Con.Res.127), which affirmed the United States support for the multistakeholder model of Internet governance, NTIA will not accept a proposal that replaces the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution. >From the inception of ICANN, the U.S. Government and Internet stakeholders envisioned that the U.S. role in the IANA functions would be temporary. The Commerce Department’s June 10, 1998 Statement of Policy stated that the U.S. Government “is committed to a transition that will allow the private sector to take leadership for DNS management.” ICANN as an organization has matured and taken steps in recent years to improve its accountability and transparency and its technical competence. At the same time, international support continues to grow for the multistakeholder model of Internet governance as evidenced by the continued success of the Internet Governance Forum and the resilient stewardship of the various Internet institutions. While stakeholders work through the ICANN-convened process to develop a transition proposal, NTIA’s current role will remain unchanged. The current IANA functions contract expires September 30, 2015. For further information see: IANA Functions and Related Root Zone Management Transition Questions and Answers About NTIANTIA is the Executive Branch agency that advises the President on telecommunications and information policy issues. NTIA’s programs and policymaking focus largely on expanding broadband Internet access and adoption in America, expanding the use of spectrum by all users, and ensuring that the Internet remains an engine for continued innovation and economic growth.

This is as per the amended, Kenya Information Communication Act, 2009 and as recently emphasized in a post to the KICTAnet list by the CCK communication manager, Mr. Christopher Wambua. It will be interesting to see what role KENIC will be left to play, once this de-facto, self-regulation practice is taken away. In yet another posting to the KICTAnet list, Prof. Jimmy Macharia, the current KENIC Chairman envisions KENIC retaining its administrative control over both the ccTLD and the Second Level Domains. This is quite different from the South African case where the second level domain management and administration is outsourced to different entities. http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/blogs/dot9/Kenyas-Internet-Domain-Set-for-a-Sh… _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/bitange%40jambo.co.ke The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ted Mooney <mooney(a)isoc.org> Date: Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 10:25 PM Subject: [Chapter-delegates] ISOC Realignment To: Scott Mansfield <scott.mansfield(a)ericsson.com>, "izumi(a)nic.ad.jp" < izumi(a)nic.ad.jp>, Russ White <russ.white(a)ericsson.com>, ISOC Chapter Delegates <chapter-delegates(a)elists.isoc.org> From the office of Kathy Brown Colleagues, The Internet has matured and evolved over the past 20 years from a "nascent technology" with imagined--but then unknown--potential to the world-wide platform for connection, collaboration, community and commerce that it is today. We face, as we are all aware, new challenges in ensuring that the principles that got us here remain central to the continuing evolution of the Internet. We are committed, with the same passion we have always shown, to meet these challenges head on. To be successful we must be focused, disciplined and organized in a way that leverages all of our expertise, talent and accumulated knowledge. We must be a cohesive team, ready to work together, enlist allies, tell our story and engage with everyone with a stake in an open, secure, global network of networks. We have committed to achieving three priorities: #1. Maintaining and strengthening multi-stakeholder processes both globally and locally. #2. Promoting robustness and resiliency of Internet security and privacy through technology standards and deployment; and #3. Advancing the deployment of core Internet infrastructure and evolution of technology to ensure the sustainability and reliability of the Internet. To better leverage our talent, expertise and budget assets to meet these objectives, we will be streamlining our business case and realigning a number of our functions and people. Effective Monday, March 17, 2014: We will refocus our organizational structure to ensure responsibility and accountability for achieving our priorities by: 1. Establishing an office of Regional Engagement* at the executive level; 2. Realigning our engagement, messaging and communications functions into one integrated office; 3. Consolidating the technical work of the organization into the Chief Internet Technical Office; 4. Strengthening our Global Policy Office; 5. Consolidating our business, administrative and financial functions in the Finance Office; 6. Positioning the economist as a shared asset; These changes will require each of us to demonstrate both the high professional commitment we have to the overall mission of ISOC as well as patience, openness to change and willingness to "exercise new muscles" to adapt to a more integrated approach to doing our work.
