-- Internet Governance - why is ICANN stpendng so much time on global internet government? ICANN is member of netgov ecosystem...continue on mission, but we have responsibility in the ecosystem...it should be prioritized never ahead of the core work of the mission.
-- NETmundial - one of the premier forums on netgov that will appear this year. Received thousands of interested participant applicants. Received 189 submissions on proposals to improve internet gov. Netm is where we will start sharting a multistakeholder model of internet governance. It is not the time to spend too much time to discuss on icann or IANA. Look at broader net gov issues - icann and iana are but a small piece of a fast ecosystem of issues.
-- ends with some history. Jon Postel - people who used to manage entire DNS on an index card. And it started with ICANN 1 in Singapore. Reminds that it has been a long road - when US decides to trust us, it is because of all the work that has happened up to this point. Starting with Jon and with everyone. Let's not miss this opportunity. He goes over the principles that the US Government set in order for the IANA transition to work.
