NANOGers -
As you may have heard, the United States National Telecommunications and
Information
Administration (US NTIA) has a contract with ICANN for administration of
the Internet
technical identifiers [e.g. DNS names, IP address spaces, and protocol
parameters], and
recently proposed transitioning stewardship of these tasks over to the
Internet technical
community.
ICANN is facilitating the development of a plan to accomplish this, and
their initial draft of
a process for plan development has been released and is available for
public comment.
Comments on the proposed process are due by 8 May 2014, and as that is well
before
NANOG 61 in June, I'm drawing attention to this opportunity via the list.
You can find
more information regarding the proposed process and how to provide feedback
attached.
FYI (and thanks!)
