<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">The Internet Governance Project today responded to a U.S. Department of Commerce proceeding seeking comment on the future of its political oversight over ICANN. The proceeding is part of a mid-term review of ICANN's 3-year Joint Project Agreement (JPA) with the U.S. Commerce Department NTIA.
<p> In a move that is likely to attract attention and debate we called for ICANN and the U.N. Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to forge an agreement to institute a bi-annual review and <strong>public consultation</strong> concerning ICANN's record and accountability. </p>
<p> "We look forward to replacing the JPA with new forms of oversight rooted in the global Internet <strong>community</strong>," the comments state. </p></blockquote>
