He first noted that NTIA had noticed recent progress within the organization citing the progress on incorporating the law enforcement concerns via the [[GAC]] within negotiations for a new [[Registrar Accreditation Agreement]]; the recent announcement that the Contract Compliance Division will now report directly to the [[ICANN CEO]]; and the possibility of moving quickly on recommendations from the [[Whois Review Team]]. He stressed that implementation of the latter item was important.

On December 2nd, 2012, the US government issued a statement in support of [[ICANN]], signed by [[Larry Strickling|Lawrence E. Strickling]], Administrator of NTIA, Julius Genachowski, Chairman of the [[FCC]], and Phillip L. Verveer, U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and Information Policy of the State Department. They stated: "The Internet’s decentralized, multistakeholder processes enable us all to benefit from the engagement of all interested parties. By encouraging the participation of industry, civil society, technical and academic experts, and governments from around the globe, multistakeholder processes result in broader and more creative problem solving. This is essential when dealing with the Internet, which thrives through the cooperation of many different parties... Our commitment to the multistakeholder model is based on the fact that transparency, inclusion and participation are the 21st century standards governing discussions related to modern communications. This is a view shared by many around the world and was most recently reiterated by a statement of civil society members and groups from around the world who participated in the “Best Bits” pre-[[IGF|Internet Governance Forum]] (IGF) meeting held earlier this month in Baku, Azerbaijan. The U.S. Government wishes to lend its support to the spirit of the recommendations contained in the statement."<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/12/02/on-eve-of-start-of-the-itu-meeting-in-dubai-the-us-makes-issues-a-statement-in-support-of-icann/ On Eve Of Start of The ITU Meeting In Dubai, The US Makes Issues A Statement In Support of ICANN], TheDomains.com.
