Noncommercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) welcomes the 13 March 2014 statement
from the U.S. Commerce Department announcing its intention to “transition key
Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community.” We
support this move because an Internet governance regime that gives one national
government exclusive powers over a global resource is bound to be politically
biased, divisive and promote tendencies toward Internet fragmentation.</span><span style=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">This change

all 5 of the principles NTIA proposed to guide the transition. We agree that
the transition should:</span><span style=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">• Support and

the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental organization.</span><span style=""></span></p><div><span style=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">It is very
important to replace the current system with a carefully considered,
well-designed alternative. We note that noncommercial stakeholders have been
leaders in developing plans for the proposed transition. Submissions to the
Netmundial conference from two NCSG members, the Internet Governance Project
and Avri Doria, have set out specific blueprints for the transition.</span><span style=""></span></p><div><span style=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">Consistent
with both of these proposals, NCSG proposes an additional principle to guide
the transition. The transition should:</span><span style=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">• Enhance the
accountability of ICANN through structural separation of the DNS root zone
management functions from ICANN’s policy making functions</span><span style=""></span></p><div><span style=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">The root zone
management functions, which are currently performed by Verisign, Inc. and IANA
under contracts with the U.S. government, are clerical, technical and
operational, The policy making functions of ICANN, on the other hand, are
highly political. NCSG believes that those two aspects of DNS governance must
be kept apart, in separate organizations. Separating them ensures that those
with policy and political objectives must win support for their ideas in a fair
and open policy development process, and cannot arbitrarily impose them upon Internet
users and service providers by virtue of their control of the operational
levers of the global domain name system.</span><span style=""></span></p><div><span style=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">The existing
IANA contract attempts to keep the two separate; however, if ICANN simply
absorbs the IANA and Verisign functions without any oversight from the U.S.
government, there is a danger that the two could become integrated and
intermingled in unhealthy ways. That is why the NCSG, along with supporters
from other stakeholder groups, will insist on this new principle of separation during
the transition process.</span><span style=""></span></p><div><span style=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">The
Department of Commerce has asked ICANN to “conven[e] stakeholders across the
global Internet community to craft an appropriate transition plan.”
Unfortunately, ICANN’s management seems to have interpreted this as a mandate
to implement its own transition plan, in which it would simply take over the
IANA functions with no oversight. NCSG wishes to remind ICANN that it has been
charged with convening a process, not with controlling it. The transition will

announcement by the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) to transition oversight over the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) function to the global multistakeholder
community, a development that was envisaged since the early daysof the IANA
functions contract.</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">We fully support that the Internet Corporation for Names and
Numbers (ICANN) has been assigned the task to convene the multi-stakeholder
process to develop the transition plan and we will work with our respective
communities to ensure that any transition plan will:</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">- Maintain the security, stability and resiliency of the top
level of the Internet’s system of unique identifiers;</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">- Support and enhance the multistakeholder model of Internet

Functions, has performed these functions since 1998, ensuring the continued
security, stability, and resiliency of the top level of the Internet’s system
of unique identifiers. The strength and stability of the IANA functions are
critical to the operation of the Internet. The processes around the IANA
functions should therefore continue to be carefully specified, taking into
account transparency, accountability as well as the role of the
multi-stakeholder model in this context.</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal">Through our respective communities we commit to support and
engage in the<span style=""> </span>multistakeholder-designed
process that is consensus-driven, participatory, open and transparent that will
launch at the ICANN 49 Meeting in Singapore. We will work to make this process
collaborative and globally-accountable while the IANA functions continue to
ensure the continued security, stability and resiliency of the top level of the
Internet’s system of unique identifiers.</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white"> </span></b></p><div><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white">Documents for information (not discussion)</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% white"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">NPOC
statement on NTIA Annouoncement</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">NPOC, the Not-for-Profit Operational
Concerns stakeholder Constituency within ICANN, welcomes the U.S. Government's
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announcement
of its intention to “transfer key internet domain name functions to the global
stakeholder community” and pledges its support for the challenging work
required for this task.</span><span style=""></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="">NTIA has charged ICANN to convene global stakeholders to
develop a transition proposal that strengthens the multistakeholder model;
maintains the security, stability and resilience of the Internet DNS; meets the
needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of the relevant
domain name system (DNS) functions; and maintains the openness of the Internet.
NPOC's stakeholder constituency has a keen interest in both this process and
its outcome.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:13.9pt"><span style="">NPOC focuses on the impact of DNS
policies, and their effects, on the Not-for-Profit civil society stakeholder
community. NPOC stands for a multistakeholder approach to empowerment and
capacity building for engagement in Internet governance; policy and process
transparency; and stakeholder use of a DNS system that supports community based
and just socio-economic development.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:13.9pt"><span style="">NPOC looks forward to playing an
active role on the development of a transition proposal process that respects
the principles of openness and engagement that have been part of the core DNA
of the Internet from its inception. NPOC intends to collaborate with existing
stakeholder constituencies and others to nurture a growing civil society
stakeholder base, both within ICANN and the transition proposal, and within the
not-for-profit and civil society communities of the larger global Internet
ecosystem.</span></p><div><span style=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""> </b></p>
