In advance of the DOC Public Meeting on ICANN (July 26
-- written public comments due July 7), it might not
be a bad idea to discuss some of the questions that
NTIA/DOC has posed... any comments will be
appreciated... here are their first two questions:

1. The DNS White Paper articulated principles (i.e.,
stability; competition; private, bottom-up
coordination; and representation) necessary for
guiding the transition to private sector management of
the Internet DNS.  Are these principles still
relevant?  Should additional principles be considered
in light of:  the advance in Internet technology; the
expanded global reach of the Internet; the experience
gained over the eight years since the Department of
Commerce issued the DNS White Paper; and the
international dialogue, including the discussions
related to Internet governance at the United Nations
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)? 

 

2.  The DNS White Paper articulated a number of
actions that should be taken in order for the U.S.
Government to transition its Internet DNS technical
coordination and management responsibilities to the
private sector.  These actions appear in the MOU as a
series of core tasks and milestones.  Has ICANN
achieved sufficient progress in its tasks, as agreed
in the MOU, for the transition to take place by
September 30, 2006?
