===EC Reaction to IANA RFP===
On November 14, 2011, the European Commission ([[EC]]) was pleased with the decision of the NTIA to open the IANA Functions Contract to other interested parties to submit their proposals to become the next manager of IANA. According to [[Neelie Kroes]], European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda, ''"The new IANA tender is a clear step forward for global internet governance. A more transparent, independent and accountable management of the Internet domain names and other resources will reinforce the Internet's role as a global resource."''<ref>[http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.doreference=IP/11/1345&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en Digital Agenda: Commission welcomes improvements in new IANA contract]</ref> The Commission noted that some of the changes implemented in the contract were based on the suggestions expressed by Kroes during the EU-US bilateral meeting with NTIA Assistant Secretary [[Larry Strickling]] in Brussels and during the [[IGF]] in Nairobi on May and September 2011 respectively. These changes include the provision mandating the next contractor to maintain a strict conflict of interest policy and to provide proper documentation demonstrating that the decision making process related to the introduction or modification of new gTLD is supportive of public interest.<ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/2011/11/14/analysis-of-eu-response-to-iana-rfp European Commission gives qualified thumbs-up to IANA rebid]</ref>
