[At-Large] WEBCAST TODAY 10:30am EDT: US House IANA Transition Hearing

[Joly MacFie]

Hopefully with everyone over their jetlag from the trip back from
Singapore, the US Congress now gets to talk IANA. Since the NTIA
globalization announcement back on March 14, politicians from Newt
Gingrich<https://twitter.com/newtgingrich/status/444608973455384576>to
Sarah
Palin <https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/posts/10201681563024880> have
raised concerns that it is a US giveaway of a strategic asset. Congress is
certainly going to paying close attention as the process develops. Every
Internet user worldwide has an interest in the four factors in the
hearing's title - Security, Stability, Resilience, and Freedom - and thus
the answers to the questions listed below. We in turn should pay close
attention to Congress,

*Topics*:

   - How will NTIA collect and assess proposals? Has a process been
   determined? Is there a timeline in place for a decision?
   - Does transition of the IANA functions out of NTIA have implications
   for national security?
   - How will NTIA ensure that any transition is smooth and does not affect
   the daily functioning of the Internet?
   - What will be the result if NTIA does not receive a proposal that
   satisfies the criteria it set forth? Does NTIA plan to exercise the
   automatic option for renewal on the IANA contract if a satisfactory
   proposal is not received?
   - What sort of multi-stakeholder community would be the ideal
   replacement for NTIA's role in the IANA functions?
   - What safeguards will be in place to prevent a future change that would
   allow for governments to seize control?
   - What oversight role should Congress play to ensure a successful
   outcome.
   - What will be the practical impact of this transition on Internet users
   and businesses that utilize the Internet for commerce?
