<div>Also, I wanted to note that this may not be an actual

Have we done press releases before, and does that suit the

March 14, U.S. Commerce Department’s National
Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) announced its intent to
relinquish the
oversight role it has played so far with the Internet
Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) regarding key Internet domain name
functions.</span></p>

Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) welcomes this decision and
appreciates the
opportunity for these functions and the stewardship of the
Internet domain name
system (DNS) to further evolve toward a governance model
that is truly global and
widely accepted. IGC particularly acknowledges with
satisfaction the
reiteration by NTIA of the necessity to involve all
stakeholders in the process
as well as in the subsequent arrangements completing the
transition toward the
privatization of the DNS administration. </span></p>

of the four principles put forward by NTIA to guide ICANN
and the global
Internet community in the formulation of a transition
proposal, the Caucus wishes

openness and the global

not only on its
security but also on its safety for all users around the
globe.</span></p>

the Caucus recognizes that the structures that develop
protocols and set
technical standards for the Internet play and will continue
to play an essential
role, we also note that it is equally crucial for the future
arrangements to be
inclusive of, and give effective consideration to, the
concerns and views of Internet
users, citizens and civil society organizations across the
world, in developed

IGC supports the multistakeholder policymaking model to the
extent that it is
meant to be inclusive, bottom-up and consensus driven and,
as such, it enhances
democracy by seeking further participation from all people
potentially impacted
by its decision outcomes. It is our constant concern to make
sure the term
‘multistakeholder’ is not reduced to mean
‘anti-intergovernmental’ or ‘private
sector led’ but is rather positively open to embrace and
actualize a
‘pro-all-peoples-of-the-world’ meaning.</span></p>

style="font-family:'Times New
Roman',serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)">Finally,
IGC is concerned that beyond phasing out NTIA’s current
role, there remains the
question of the jurisdiction to be applicable to the
structure that will emerge
from this transition. For such structure to be truly global,
the Caucus feels
it is important that it not be subject to one national
jurisdiction but rather
to an internationally recognized legal mechanism. It is in
this context that appropriate
accountability instruments should be carefully designed for
the new governance
institution.</span></p>
