Internet Technical Leaders Welcome IANA Globalization Progress

The leaders of the Internet technical organizations responsible for
coordination of the Internet infrastructure (IETF, IAB, RIRs, ccTLD
ROs, ICANN, ISOC, and W3C), welcome the US Government's announcement
of the suggested changes related to the IANA functions contract.

The roles on policy development processes of the Internet technical
organizations and ICANN's role as administrator of the IANA functions,
remain unchanged.

The transition of the US Government stewardship has been envisaged
since the early days of IANA functions contract. This transition is
now feasible due to the maturity of the Internet technical
organizations involved in performing their respective roles related to
the IANA functions, and ICANN will facilitate a global,
multi-stakeholder process to plan for the transition.

The strength and stability of the IANA functions within the above
organizations (which make up the Internet technical community) are
critical to the operation of the Internet. The processes around the
IANA functions have always been carefully specified in the communities
that our organizations represent. The IANA functions are faithfully
administered by ICANN. We are committed to continuing our proven,
community-driven processes as we engage in this transition. Our
communities are already considering proposals to progress the
transition.

Our organizations are committed to open and transparent
multi-stakeholder processes. We are also committed to further
strengthening our processes and agreements related to the IANA
functions, and to building on the existing organizations and their
roles. The Internet technical community is strong enough to continue
its role, while assuming the stewardship function as it transitions
from the US Government.
