In March 2014 [[NTIA]] released a statement that they are intent on transitioning their part of the IANA functions away from NTIA and to the global stakeholder community. The first step in this process is for ICANN to convene stakeholders and create a proposal for how the IANA functions will remain secure and unwavering. The press release outlined a number of principles which the ICANN-community drafted proposal must meet:
* Must Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;
* Must Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS;
* Must Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services; and,
* Must Maintain the openness of the Internet.
The current NTIA contract with ICANN expires on 30 September, 2014, and members of the ICANN community took that date as a deadline for drafting and agreeing on a proposal.<ref>[http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions Press Release: NTIA Announces Intent to Transition Key Internet Domain Name Functions] ''NTIA.doc.gov''; Retrieved 09 July 2014</ref>
