Yamanishi-san, I think one of the most important things here is to get the important information out to the community, encourage people to become knowledgable about the issues, and contribute to them where they feel appropriate.
To that end InternetNZ group staff have prepared a short paper to help inform people about the debate regarding the transition of the United States Government's DNS responsibilities to the global multistakeholder community. The paper explores the nature of what exactly is being transitioned, and then analyses the actual DNS functions at the global level, locates these in current institutional configurations, and then sets out a few options for alternative arrangements. None of these are necessarily an InternetNZ preferred model. Our purpose in publishing this paper is to help the discussion happen, and to show there are many possible ways to organise the DNS settlement after the USG exits from its current role. I am posting the information here in the hope that APNIC members find it a useful resource with which to start providing feedback to ICANN on this topic. https://internetnz.net.nz/system/files/pages/2014/2014-03-icann-iana-role-structures.pdf Regards Dean Pemberton Technical Policy Advisor InternetNZ +64 21 920 363 (mob) [email protected] To promote the Internet's benefits and uses, and protect its potential. _______________________________________________ apnic-talk mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.apnic.net/mailman/listinfo/apnic-talk
