[kictanet] [isoc_ke] Invittaion to IANA stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN Accountability meeting

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Mwendwa,
Thank you for taking this up. I have seen the discourse in several other
lists. May I ask, as one not too well versed with the process, what are the
stakes for a country like Kenya?
 Regards,

>> BACKGROUND
>>
>> On 14th March 2014, the U.S. Government announced its intent to
>> transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the global
>> multistakeholder community:
>> http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions
>> .
>>
>> Following this announcement, ICANN, was tasked with facilitating the
>> development of a global, and representative proposal based on the following
>> principles:
>>
>>
>>
>> 1.       Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;
>>
>> 2.       Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the
>> Internet DNS;
>>
>> 3.       Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and
>> partners of the IANA services;
>>
>> 4.       Maintain the openness of the Internet.
>>
>> 5.       The proposal must not replace the NTIA role with a
>> government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.
>>
>>
>>
>> The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) was formed in
>> July 2014 (https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship), and tasked with
>> assembling and delivering a proposal to NTIA through the ICANN Board. The
>> ICG constituted three special interest groups representing the Domain Names
>> community (NRO members), Numbering Resources community (CWG), and the
>> Protocol Parameters community (IETF),
>>
>>
>>
>> ICG shall compile the proposals from the three communities into a single
>> proposal which the ICG shall submit to the board for review, and the board
>> shall forward the final proposal to NTIA.
>>
>>
>>
>> The three communities affected by IANA functions, IETF (handling protocol
>> parameters), Numbering community - CRISP Team  (under the umbrella of NRO),
>> and Domain Names community (Cross Community Working Group) have released
>> proposals on how the IANA transition should be handles.
