:* 1/30/98: The [[Green Paper]] set out four principles to guide the evolution of the domain name system: stability, competition, private bottom-up coordination, and representation. “The Green Paper suggested that the new corporation be incorporated in the United States in order to promote stability and facilitate the continued reliance on technical expertise residing in the United States, including IANA staff at USC/ISI.” <ref>https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/1998/statement-policy-management-internet-names-and-addresses</ref>

:* 06/05/1998: the [[White Paper]]: "Stability: The U.S. Government should end its role in the Internet number and name address system in a manner that ensures the stability of the Internet. The introduction of a new management system should not disrupt current operations or create competing root systems. During the transition and thereafter, the stability of the Internet should be the first priority of any DNS management system. Security and reliability of the DNS are important aspects of stability, and as a new DNS management system is introduced, a comprehensive security strategy should be developed. https://cyber.harvard.edu/pressbriefings/icann/briefingbook/WhitePaper-Principles.html
