ITRealms:
The
Internet Society has urged the United States Senate to say yes to the continuous
implementation of the multistakeholders agreement on the transition of the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reports ITRealms.
ISOC in
giving this applause noted that the US Senators on both sides of the aisle have
shown great encouraging interest on evaluating the transition of the oversight
of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions to the global
Internet community on the facts rather than inaccurate political rhetorics.
The President
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ISOC, Kathryn Brown singed out the Major
Leader, McConnel and his team for all the support on this journey so far.
“We
thank Majority Leader McConnell and his staff for recognizing the implications
of blocking the multistakeholder consensus of the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) community on the transition,” she said.
According
to her, it is important for Congress to ensure that any final Continuing
Resolution does not delay or block the transition.
“A delay
could actually increase – not decrease – the possibility of international
government control of the Internet and will signal to the global community that
we do not believe in the multistakeholder model of governance,” ISOC chairperson
said.
Brown
also noted that this transition has been built upon a bipartisan consensus for
almost twenty years through multiple administrations.
“The
time has finally arrived to remove the last direct United States governmental
role in ICANN's operation,” she said.
ISOC,
she said, believes that the transition will further strengthen the Internet as
a stable, resilient and secure tool for empowering billions of people across
the globe for decades to come.
“We urge
the Congress to say #yestoIANA,” she said.
