One aspect, in keeping with the <a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/news/montevideo-statement-future-internet-cooperation" target="_blank">Montevideo Statement</a>, is the suggestion that the <a href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/page/iana-functions-purchase-order" target="_blank">IANA contract</a> be removed from US control. Larry Strickling of the NTIA <a href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/statement-assistant-secretary-strickling-european-commission-statement-internet-g" target="_blank">responded immediately</a> to the EU statement, supporting it in principle, but notably making no reference to the IANA functions. There was further discussion at the UK IGF yesterday in which Internet Minister Ed Vaizey also spoke in support (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo8OOvxvO3s" target="_blank">video</a>). Vaizey emphazed the value of maintaining the IGF as a talk shop rather than a deliberative assembly, in order that it function openly and creatively.</div>
