==NANP and ICANN==

[[ICANN]] is reviewing the functions and structure of [[NeuStar]] Inc., the present North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) in order create a functional structure that addresses accountability, which is the major issue for ICANN. NeuStar has been the NANPA since 1997. As NANPA, NeuStar is responsible for supervising the assignment and use of NANP resources amongst NANP participants. NeuStar is accountable to the Federal Communication Council ([[FCC]]) for its various decisions and measures taken as a administrator of NANP. ICANN is overviewing the procedures that NeuStar uses to maintain a transparent accountability towards the FCC, which ICANN can use as guidelines to overcome its own accountability issues.<ref>[http://www.techpolicyinstitute.org/files/icann%200601%20final.pdf techpolicyinstitute.org]</ref>
