NetMundial (acting purely as an individual) before the March 8 deadline. I have 
copied them to a couple of lists because I know others think similarly – and I 
am more than prepared to amend this and transform it into a sign-on statement if 
there is interest.  
>>I acknowledge firstly inputs from others on various 
lists discussing this which I have adopted. If people are interested in 
contributing and signing on, happy to take that on board on list or off list. 
But I do want a pragmatic proposal which has a good chance of being adopted, and 
will not include suggestions that would be counter to getting some immediate 
action on this. 
>> I appreciate 
there are many other thoughts on this and encourage others to make submissions 
direct to Netmundial outlining other solutions if they feel so inclined. But any 
inputs to refine this particular widely discussed suggestion are very 
welcome. 
>> This will have to be finalised 
for sign on, if that direction is taken, by about March 4.

>>DRAFT FOLLOWS 
>> Roadmap (and 
principles) for internalisation of the former  IANA functions within the 
multistakeholder ICANN model. 
>> This roadmap 
concentrates on one internet governance issue only – the future of the IANA 
functions which have been the subject of much past discussion because current 
arrangements are seen by many to be outside of the preferred multistakeholder 
model. 
>> Indeed, IANA 
itself was established  in an era 
before current internet governance models (multistakeholder) and governance 
institutions (eg ICANN) were in existence.  
>>  
>>ROADMAP 
>> This roadmap 
suggests that the IANA functions, though necessary processes in the secure and 
authoritative functioning of the Internet, no longer need a separate entity and 
would more productively merged with similar functions under the auspices of 
ICANN. Subject of course to many concerns about details, this direction appears 
to have widespread support from governments, civil society, technical community, 
and private sector. 
>> In order to 
achieve this desired change efficiently and productively, the following roadmap 
is proposed. 
>>1.       ICANN should be 
requested to prepare a proposal for management of the previous IANA functions 
within the ICANN multistakeholder model, bearing in mind the following 
criteria: 
>>  
>>(a) protection of the root zone from political or other 
improper interference;  
>>(b) integrity, stability, continuity, security and 
robustness of the administration of the root zone;  
>>(c) widespread [international] trust by Internet users 
in the administration of this function; (d) support of a single unified root 
zone; and  
>>(e) agreement regarding an accountability mechanism for 
this function that is broadly accepted as being in the global public 
interest." 
>>2. Preparation of the proposal should involve discussion 
with all major stakeholder groups, with a completion timetable for a first draft 
for discussion at the Internet Governance Forum in Turkey in September 
2014. 
>>3. To expedite completion in a timely manner, it is 
suggested that outside consultants be engaged to prepare the discussion paper 
(proposal) in consultation with major stakeholders. 
>>4. The solution must have the following 
characteristics 
>>
>>(a) offers a legal structure that is robust against 
rogue litigation attacks
>>
>>(b) is aligned with the Internet technical 
infrastructure in a way that supports innovative, technology based evolution of 
the DNS .
>>
>> 
>>(c) is an inclusive model 
>>(d) is a demonstrable improvement on current processes 
in this area
