Why now?
Slide 5
Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders IANA Functions
The Context The controversies of the US role over the Internet: In
the WSIS processes: Unspoken concerns about US dominance over
information resource. The WGIG report recommends an
internationalization of oversight function. The Snowden revelation
as contended in the IGF 2013 Montevideo Statement from technical
community The NETmundial document
Slide 6
Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders What are IANA
functions? Protocol parameters The management of codes and numbers
used in Inter net protocols in coordination with IETF (Internet
Engin eering Task Force). Number resources The allocation of
Internet number resources (IP Addre sses and Autonomous System
Number) to RIRs (Reg ional Internet Registries). Domain names The
administration of DNS Root Zone database (Proc essing routine
updates for TLD operators & adding ne w TLDs into the root of
the DNS).

2015 The Overview of Remaining Process Three remaining phasesThree
remaining phases leading to the transition: Phase 1: Phase 2: Phase
3: The evaluation period is estimated to last four to five months,
thus it implies that the evaluati on could conclude around March
2016. Community proposal finalization NTIA review and evaluation
The transition could be completed in July 2016 at the earliest
(based on the responses from the three operational communities)

Individual Proposal Assessment Community Processes: Openness,
Inclusiveness, and Consensus Completeness and Clarity Combined
Proposal Assessment NTIA Criteria
Slide 14
Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders ICG Assessment
for Combined Proposal Compatibility and interoperability: Do the
proposals work together in a single proposal? Are there any
incompatible arrangements where compatibility is r equired? Can
conflicting overlaps between the functions be resolved in a
workable manner? Accountability: Do the proposals together include
appropriate and properly supp orted independent accountability
mechanisms for running the IA NA function? Are there gaps in
accountability under the single proposal? Workability: Do the
results of any tests or evaluations of workability that were
included in the component proposals conflict with each other or r
aise possible concerns when considered in combination?
Slide 15
Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders NTIA Criteria
The transition proposal needs to: support & enhance the
multistakeholder model; maintain the security, stability, &
resiliency of the Intern et DNS; meet the needs & expectation
of the global customers & partners of the IANA services;
maintain the openness of the Internet NTIA stated it will not
accept a proposal that repl aces the NTIA role with a
government-led or an in ter-governmental organization
solution.
