TIMELY - Request for expedited input on development process for IANA oversight transition plan
NANOGers - On Friday 14 March, the United States Government announced that it intends to transition oversight of key Internet functions (including the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, or IANA) to the global multi-stakeholder community. NTIA has asked ICANN to facilitate, in consultation with the global multi-stakeholder community, the development of a proposal for the transition of IANA oversight. NTIA announcement - <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions> I believe that this is a topic which some in the NANOG community may want to participate in, given the importance of the Internet identifier system to proper operation of the Internet. It clearly has potential for impacting ARIN's performance of its mission, as such we will be discussing this topic at our upcoming ARIN 33 meeting in Chicago next month. This may also be a topic that warrants discussion at NANOG 61 in June. However, on a very expedited basis prior to these events, ICANN is seeking input on the timeline and process to be used for development of the IANA transition plan, and so I am forwarding some information to the extent that any in the NANOG community have views on the plan development process. Note that the deadline for this initial input is 3 days hence (27 March 2014), and a draft process and timeline incorporating input received will be put out by ICANN for community consultation and comment on 7 April 2014. Please find attached the ARIN announcement covering this consultation process; my apologies for disturbing your inbox on a topic that may not be of interest to the entire community, but we'd prefer to be overly informative in matters such as these.

More information on these plans will undoubtedly come out of the upcoming ICANN Meeting in Singapore from 23-27 March. The timeline document is available here: http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/functions-transfer-process-14m... Today at ICANN 49 in Singapore, there was a session which discussed the need to develop an IANA Accountability plan, as it will be necessary to provide NTIA with a community-wide plan for transition of the oversight duties which they presently perform. ICANN is coordinating the effort to develop this plan for IANA transition, and the first step is establishing a formal timeline and process for plan development. ICANN has provided a mail list for expedited input on the _process_ to be used for IANA transition plan development. This includes items such as feedback on the timeline document noted above, engagement processes, etc. The list is here: <ianatransition@icann.org<mailto:ianatransition@icann.org>> (An public archive is also available here: <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ianatransition/>) The goal is to gather the input by 27 March 2014, and then combine the mail list discussion and the discussions happening at ICANN 49, with the resulting timeline and next steps to be released for public comment and community feedback on 7 April 2014. If you have specific views on the process for development of the IANA transition plan, please contribute promptly.
