[AfrICANN-discuss] Fwd: USG/NTIA & IANA function's Contract

[Pierre Lotis NANKEP]

Many thanks to Edward Snowden...

Hope that this new development/orientation will preserve the Internet from balkanization risks.

Propositions for next step :
1. IANA to become a simple technical department within ICANN;
2. ICANN to establish offices in each region/continent with staff respecting multi-stakehoder approach;
3. Root Servers to be equally distributed within continent;
4. etc.

> ICANN has responded to the announcement with the launch of a Global Multistakeholder Accountability process http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-14mar14-en.htm

> At AFRINIC we see this announcement by the USG/NTIA as an important step in the globalization of ICANN and the IANA function. We have joined other organisations in charge of Internet Technical Coordination in a statement that expressed our support to this important move. The join statement is available at: http://www.nro.net/news/internet-technical-leaders-welcome-iana-globalization-progress.

> Now the responsibility lies on us from the African community to promptly engage in the process that has just been launched so to make sure that the accountability framework to be defined as a replacement of USG/NTIA role related to the IANA function takes our views and expectations into consideration.
