NTIA Announcement[edit | edit source]
In the weeks leading up to ICANN 49, NTIA released an announcement on March 14, 2014 that stated it would begin transition of key DNS functions to the global Internet stakeholder community. The announcement created a wealth of discussion within the ICANN community and the global media, and became a major topic and talking-point during ICANN 49.[2][3]
President's Opening Speech[edit | edit source]
-- apologizes for ICANN precense in Asia a year ago. now a year later have a local hub and 14 employees based in Asia. ICANN committment is going to the world. -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsDQo6rP8cY -- an important time to step back and take stock. What do we need to do in the phase ahead? -- take a community view as to everything that is going on at icann. create a community activities map. -- new icann website -- Because of NTIA announcement, the Board is discussing dissolving advisory groups on ICANN/IANA globalization and instead focusing attention on the IANA transition. -- NTIA announcement - launch global process of transitioning IANA to global community. Also discuss how we are going to evolve ICANN's own accountability as an organization. He applauded NTIA and US government's stewardship of IANA so far. -- 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.
