In 1997, the United States government under Pres. Bill Clinton's administration approved the transition of the technical management of the Domain Name System ([[DNS]]) including the IANA functions to a private sector. On January 30, 1998, the DOC released the [[Green Paper]] recommending the establishment of a new private, non-profit organization to take over the management of the DNS. The global internet stakeholders shared their comments and recommendations regarding the Green Paper and were compiled and studied by the NTIA. On June 1998, NTIA published the [[White Paper]], which contains the policy statement of the U.S. government regarding the transition process for the technical management of the DNS to a new corporation that will be created based on the principles stability, competition, private bottom-up coordination and representation.<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/1998/statement-policy-management-internet-names-and-addresses Statement of Policy on the Management of Internet Names and Addresses]</ref>
On November 25, 1998, the Department of Commerce formally recognized ICANN as the new organization responsible in administering the DNS through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both parties.<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/report/2000/second-status-report-department-commerce-icann Second Status Report Under ICANN/US Government Memorandum of Understanding]</ref>
