[Info] "Controlling Internet infrastructure"

[David Post]

All

Thanks, Rafik, for the pointer to the paper ... Just by way of 
background, this paper probably doesn't have a great deal of 
information that the folks on this list are unfamiliar with.  Its 
target audience is most definitely that large group of people who are 
(a) interested in Internet law and policy, but who are (b) not 
technically oriented, and (b) know nothing or next-to-nothing about 
ICANN or IANA or the DNS.  We thought there was a gap in the existing 
writings on the subject, and the hope is that we've given them enough 
background, in a clear enough way, so that they can understand just 
what is going on with the IANA transition, and why it matters as much 
as we think it does for the Internet going forward --

Needless to say, please feel free to re-circulate to anyone you think 
might find it useful - even your local Congressperson!

There will be a second piece coming out shortly that will dive more 
deeply into the specifics of the various proposals now under 
consideration, with particular attention on the "accountability" discussions -

Regards,
David
