===NTIA Rejects ICANN Bid/Cancels RFP===
 +
On March 10, 2012, NTIA rejected ICANN's proposal to continue to manage the operations of the IANA functions including the bids submitted by other entities. The agency also cancelled the RFP because the "proposals did not met the requirements requested by the global internet community." <ref>[http://domainincite.com/ntia-says-icann-does-not-meet-the-requirements-for-iana-renewal/ NTIA says ICANN “does not meet the requirements” for IANA renewal]</ref>  Furthermore, NTIA announced that the RFP will be used at a future date to be determined (TBD).<ref>
