</span><span class="">Hi Ben<br>
In view of this and all things being equal, our Executive Director, Operations is already considering another presentation from madam during the 2-day annual Nigeria DigitalSENSE forum on Internet Governance for Development & Nigeria IPV6 roundtable 2015 in line with our At Large Structure status on June 4-5 at Welcome Center Hotels, Intl Airport Road Lagos-Nigeria with space for Q and A etc.<br>

Thank you Oga Remmy, Nigerians have peculiar ways that things are done. Sometimes it is very effective and sometimes not.<br>
<br>
<br>
I am sure there will be plan on how to communicate the position taken on the issues to the few stakeholders if there are any in Nigeria.<br>
<br>
<br>
We need to put mechanism in place to get real stakeholders involvement in Nigeria.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
Benjamin<br>

Transition from NTIA to the global multistakeholder community, and<br>
Enhancing ICANN Accountability.<br>
<br>
This email is to invite you to the event, and also solicit comments<br>
and feedback from the Kenyan community from those who cannot attend<br>
the face to face meeting on the transition of the IANA functions<br>
stewardship role from the US Government.<br>
<br>
Please give feedback using this short survey here, and also share it<br>
with your networks: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NXSQ7FG" target="_blank">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NXSQ7FG</a><br>

<br>
BACKGROUND<br>
<br>
On 14th March 2014, the U.S. Government announced its intent to<br>
transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the global<br>
multistakeholder<br>
community: <a href="http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions" target="_blank">http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions</a> .<br>
<br>
Following this announcement, ICANN, was tasked with facilitating the<br>
development of a global, and representative proposal based on the<br>
following principles:<br>
<br>
1. Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;<br>
<br>
2. Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS;<br>
<br>
3. Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and<br>
partners of the IANA services;<br>
<br>
4. Maintain the openness of the Internet.<br>
<br>
5. The proposal must not replace the NTIA role with a<br>
government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.<br>
<br>
The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) was formed in<br>
</div></div>July 2014 ( <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship</a> ), and tasked with<br>
<div><div class="h5">assembling and delivering a proposal to NTIA through the ICANN Board.<br>
The ICG constituted three special interest groups representing the<br>
Domain Names community (NRO members), Numbering Resources community<br>
(CWG), and the Protocol Parameters community (IETF),<br>
<br>
ICG shall compile the proposals from the three communities into a<br>
single proposal which the ICG shall submit to the board for review,<br>
and the board shall forward the final proposal to NTIA.<br>
<br>
The three communities affected by IANA functions, IETF (handling<br>
protocol parameters), Numbering community – CRISP Team (under the<br>
umbrella of NRO), and Domain Names community (Cross Community Working<br>
Group) have released proposals on how the IANA transition should be<br>
handles.<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
INVITATION TO JOIN ICANN IANA STEWARDSHIP TRANSITION & ENHANCING ICANN ACCOUNTABILITY STAKEHOLDER MEETING IN GHANA<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
About a year ago National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NITA) of the Department of Commerce, USA tasked ICANN to convene an inclusive and global discussion to determine a process for transitioning the stewardship of IANA functions which it currently performs to the global multistakeholder community. Indeed since that announcement, the global community has worked tirelessly and with great resilience and determination resulting in two parallel processes in response to the 14 March announcement. This has seen the multistakeholder community develop two parallel processes namely:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
• IANA Stewardship Transition: Focused on delivering a proposal to transition the stewardship of the IANA functions to the multistakeholder community.<br>
• Enhancing ICANN Accountability: Focused on ensuring that ICANN remains accountable in the absence of its historical contractual relationship with the U.S. Government.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
As a neutral convener of the dialogue, ICANN has an important responsibility of raising awareness about the processes as they evolve and to support the community’s engagement. Of great concern is the low level of meaningful participation witnessed so far from Africa. In 2014, ICANN participated in 11 events and 5 webinars / teleconferences to raise awareness on this issue in Africa. But clearly, from the response so far, a lot still needs to be done to stimulate the African community to participate effectively.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It is based on this background and analysis that the ICANN Africa team resolved to launch an IANA Stewardship Transition & Enhancing ICANN Accountability revival month in April 2015. The target is to organize 1-2 hour sessions / webinars / teleconferences or face-to-face meetings in various countries’ in Africa at different times and dates led by local community leaders and stakeholders in the internal ecosystem at the National Level. ICANN staff will be available to support and reinforce the meetings either by contributing on presentations as well as online meeting resources as appropriate. The intention is to end up with formal communiqué from different countries on their perspective on both processes at least from each country where such meetings will be held. Such communiqué could be addressed to the ICG as appropriate.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
By the end of this exercise, we hope to have stirred debate and enhanced the understanding and interest of the Internet communities in the countries participating to come up with national positions, Comments or Communiqué to the ICG. Such communiqués will not be limited to governments but other stakeholder groups in the various countries (Such as ISOC chapters, registrar associations etc.) would also be free to express their positions directly to the ICG. ICANN Africa staff would also summarize the month’s activities in a blog post to be published at the end of April.<br>
<br>
Ghana has been selected as one of the few countries where face-to-face meeting will be held during the month because of the leadership role Ghana is taking to build its Internet infrastructure.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We will like on behalf of ICANN Africa to invite you to make the Ghana- Accra stakeholder meeting to be held at KOFI ANNAN CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN IT (KACE-AITI) Ghana, on Wednesday, 29 April, 2015 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm UTC a succes.<br>
