The protocols and policy surrounding WHOIS have not changed much since its conception in the ARPANET days, but the use of WHOIS has changed dramatically. It has become a resource used by law enforcement, domain buyers and data miners alike. This has caused some to register their domains through privacy or proxy registration services. Recently the use of these services has become a center of debate and is one of the topics to look out for at this meeting.

On March 14, 2015 the US Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that it intended to transition stewardship of key internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community. However, the NTIA stated that the transfer would not occur until ICANN develops a proposal that meets a number of requirements and must have broad community support.  
On March 14, 2015 the US Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration ([[NTIA]]) announced that it intended to transition stewardship of key internet domain name functions to the global [[Multistakeholder Model|multistakeholder]] community. However, the NTIA stated that the transfer would not occur until [[ICANN]] develops a proposal that meets a number of requirements and has broad community support.  


The transition was originally set to take place on 30 September 2015, when that contract term expired, but it became increasingly evident that more time would be required for ICANN to develop an acceptable proposal. The NTIA preemptively extended the contract to 30 September 2016, giving ICANN more time to prepare for the transition. This promises to be an important topic to watch at this meeting.

===Accountability===
===Accountability===
Since the time ICANN was created, it has been held accountable by the The US government's control of the IANA function. The process of maintaining this accountability after the IANA transition occurs is an extremely important step to be taken before the transition can move forward. ICANN Identified a number of requirements to be met by the proposal before the transition occurs. However, some believe the entire plan is ultimately dependent on improvements to ICANN’s processes and accountability.

===New gTLD Program===
ICANN’s New gTLD Program was introduced in 2012 as a way to open up competition in the domain name markets. Rather than rely solely on the standard .com, edu, etc., the new gTLDs have delivered broader options in meaning for consumers. Now that the first round of gTLDs have concluded, domainers and industry professionals have their eye on the future of these extensions--will these new top level domains edge into the mainstream, what are their best uses, and how will they succeed after so many years of .com?

Important Issues[edit | edit source]

Domain Privacy[edit | edit source]

The protocols and policy surrounding WHOIS have not changed much since its conception in the ARPANET days, but the use of WHOIS has changed dramatically. It has become a resource used by law enforcement, domain buyers and data miners alike. This has caused some to register their domains through privacy or proxy registration services. Recently the use of these services has become a center of debate and is one of the topics to look out for at this meeting.
