iana stewardship transition consultation - apnic 38
DESCRIPTION
Draft proposal for discussion at APNIC 38 on the IANA Stewardship Transition.TRANSCRIPT
Consultation sessionIANA stewardship transition
Background
• IANA has always operated under USG stewardship– Changes were made over time
• ICANN was established in 1999 to “privatise” the stewardship of IANA– A “multistakeholder” approach, but before that term emerged
• USG maintained a contract with ICANN for the operation of IANA services– But it has been expected that it would eventually relinquish that
control– Various reviews and renewals of this contract have been done– Proposed in March 2014 to end the contract, and transfer
stewardship to the Internet community (with conditions)
