FINAL DRAFT VERSION TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE ALAC

The ALAC has already commented on the "Draft Proposal of the Principles and Mechanisms and the Process to Develop a Proposal to Transition NTIA's Stewardship of IANA Functions" in its Statement Referenced AL-ALAC-ST-0314-06-00-EN, focusing on the overall Principles of any Process.

The ALAC, after careful examination of the proposed Mechanism for a Process, agrees with the proposal for the creation of a Steering Group with the membership of the Steering group as described in the Proposal, on the condition that the creation of such a Steering Group should not jeopardize or otherwise hinder the creation of a Community-led ICANN Cross Community Working Group on the same topic, with the two working groups being complementary to each other.

The ALAC recommends good coordination and a clear division of tasks in order to maximise volunteer time and yield a solution that will uphold the Public Interest.

The ALAC, after careful examination of the proposed Mechanism for a Process, agrees with the proposal for the creation of a Steering Group with the membership of the Steering group exactly as described in the Proposal.

That said, the ALAC emphasizes that the creation of such a Steering Group should not jeopardize or otherwise hinder the creation of a Community-led ICANN Cross Community Working Group on the same topic, with the two working groups being complementary to each other. The ALAC recommends good coordination and a clear division of tasks in order to maximise volunteer time and yield a solution that will uphold the Public Interest.

Draft ALAC Statement on the Announcement Regarding the Transition of the Stewardship of the IANA Functions.

 

The ALAC welcomes the announcement recently made by the National Telecommunications and Information Authority (NTIA) and celebrates the designation of ICANN as the organization in charge of convening the global stakeholders to develop a proposal to transition the stewardship over the IANA functions, so far performed by the NTIA, by designing a multistakeholder mechanism that allows said stewardship to be carried out by the broader Internet community.

We expect that the design process will be open and inclusive allowing the various communities, within and outside of ICANN, to be properly considered and taken into account by adequately incorporating and addressing their concerns and thoughts in the final outcome of this collaborative effort.

Based on discussions with the At-Large Community, the ALAC believes that the end user community has a vital role in the Internet governance ecosystem and must be a part of any process going forward. 

Furthermore, we call on ICANN leadership to ensure that any mechanism that replaces the stewardship over the IANA functions is based on:

  • Enhancing the multistakeholder model;
  • Maintaining the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet's DNS;
  • Meeting the needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of the IANA services; 
  • Maintaining the openness of the Internet;
  • Providing full and effective accountability for the new stewardship responsibility to the broader stakeholder community by establishing an adequate set of checks and balances; and,
  • Guaranteeing the common good and the public interest as principles to better serve the end users.

We commit to contributing to the process so that any outcome is a result of a bottom-up, consensus driven and multistakeholder effort in which the interests of the end users are properly taken into account.

FIRST DRAFT SUBMITTED

The following Draft Statement is offered to trigger community comment and further input before finalization. 

ALAC statement on the announcement regarding the IANA stewardship transition

The ALAC welcomes the announcement recently made by the U.S. Commerce Department’s NTIA and celebrates the designation of ICANN as the institution in charge of convening the global stakeholders to develop a proposal to transition the stewardship over the IANA functions, so far performed by the NTIA, by designing a multi stakeholder mechanism that allows said stewardship to be carried out by the broader internet community.

We trust the design process will be conducted in an open and inclusive fashion that allows the various communities, within and outside of ICANN, to be properly considered and taken into account by adequately incorporating and addressing their concerns and thoughts in the final outcome of this collaborative effort.

Furthermore, we call on leadership to ensure that any mechanism that replaces the stewardship over the IANA functions is based on:

- Enhancing the multi stakeholder holder model;

- Maintaining the security, stability and resiliency of the internet DNS;

- Meeting the needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of the IANA services;

- Maintaining the openness of the Internet;

- Providing full and effective accountability from the new responsible of the stewardship in front of the broader stakeholder community by establishing an adequate set of checks and balances; and,
- Guaranteeing the common good and the public interest as principles to better serve the end users.

We commit to contributing to the process so that any outcome is a result of a bottom-up, consensus driven and multi stakeholder effort in which the end users are properly taken into account.

    - Providing full and effective accountability for the new stewardship responsibility to the broader stakeholder community by establishing an adequate set of checks and balances;

    1. Thanks Julie. I have added your contribution.

    We support the different expressions made within the At-Large community and agree that  specific and detailed information must be given to the end users community, who have an important role in the internet governance ecosystem and must be part of any further discussions.

    Furthermore, we call on leadership to ensure that any mechanism that replaces the stewardship over the IANA functions is based on:

    • Enhancing the multi stakeholder model;
    • Maintaining the security, stability and resiliency of the internet DNS;
    • Meeting the needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of the IANA services;
