Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Thu Mar 20 11:14:14 2014 From: info at arin.net (ARIN) Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:14:14 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN and the Evolution of the IANA Functions Message-ID: <532B05C6.4070306@arin.net> On Friday 14 March, the United States Government announced that it intends to transition oversight of key Internet functions (including the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, or IANA) to the global multi-stakeholder community. It has asked ICANN to facilitate, in consultation with the global multi-stakeholder community, the development of a proposal for the transition. Leaders of the I* Internet technical coordination organizations had met several times and in line with the Montevideo statement we had discussed some common principles for an evolution such as the one announced by the US Gov. Regular participants in those meeting, including their affiliated organizations, are noted here: http://www.nro.net/news/statement-from-the-i-leaders-coordination-meeting As outcome of their discussion, a common position was developed on the following points: * The roles of all Internet registry policy bodies stay unchanged. These bodies continue to hold policy authority for the protocol parameter, number, and name spaces, including responsibility to ensure the faithful registry implementation according to those policies. * The IETF, IAB, and RIRs are committed to the role of ICANN as the IANA protocol parameter and IP address registry operator. * ICANN reaffirms its commitment to implement all IANA registry functions in accordance with the respective policies. ICANN will also provide affirmations to all stakeholders (including governments) that all Internet registry policy bodies and ICANN itself will continue to use open and transparent processes. The full text summarizing these points is included at the end of this email. Separately, ICANN released a timeline that details its expectations of the multi-stakeholder consultation process. More information on these plans will undoubtedly come out of the upcoming ICANN Meeting in Singapore from 23-27 March. The timeline document is available here: http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/functions-transfer-process-14mar14-en.pdf While this timeline focuses on ICANN meetings and events, it is clear that this process will not take place only in ICANN venues. The five RIR communities are key stakeholders in this process, and it is vital that we discuss these issues both within our regional communities and globally to ensure that our voices are heard and our concerns recognized. The stable, accurate and professional management of the IANA functions, including management of the global IP address pool, is fundamental to the operation of the Internet. It is important that we not lose sight of this fact as management of the IANA evolves to more faithfully reflect the multi-stakeholder nature of the Internet community. In the ARIN community, these discussions will take place via the communication and discussion channels already in place, including the upcoming ARIN 33 meeting in Chicago this April. ARIN will continue to facilitate discussion and ensure that the output is effectively channeled into the global process. If you have any thoughts, comments or questions at this time, I encourage you to raise them on ARIN's Public Policy mailing list, arin-ppml at arin.net. If you aren't currently on this list, you can subscribe at: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml I look forward to receiving your input on the mailing list and to further discussion at ARIN 33. Regards, John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ******* Agreed text by the Leaders of I* organizations: In order to ensure global acceptance and affirmation of ICANN's role as administrator of the IANA functions, we are now pursuing the transition of USG's stewardship of the IANA functions from the USG to ICANN. The roles of all Internet registry policy bodies (such as the RIRs, IAB, IETF, ASO, ccNSO, ccTLD ROs, and gNSO) stay unchanged. These bodies continue to hold policy authority for the protocol parameter, number, and name spaces, including responsibility to ensure the faithful registry implementation according to those policies. This transition from the USG has been envisaged since the early days of ICANN. It is now feasible due to the growing maturity of ICANN and other organisations in the Internet ecosystem. ICANN's structures and accountability mechanisms continue to evolve and advance guided by the AoC community reviews, including ATRT. In addition, ICANN will continue to embrace its aggressive roadmap to truly globalize its structures. In order to operationalize the transition from USG, ICANN will engage with the Internet community in a bottom-up public consultation process to ensure appropriate accountability mechanisms. In addition, ICANN will work with the names, numbers, and protocol communities to formalize relationships, commitments, and mutual responsibilities. When community stakeholders have input about the policies emanating from the names, numbers, and protocol communities, they would be directed to pursue their interests through the relevant Internet communities (such as the gNSO, ccNSO, ccTLD ROs, ASO, IAB, IETF, or the RIRs) and their mechanisms for consideration and potential redress. The IETF, IAB, and RIRs are committed to open and transparent processes. They also are committed to the role of ICANN as the IANA protocol parameter and IP address registry operator. The accountability mechanisms for ICANN's administration of these core internet functions will provide escalation routes that assure the names, numbers, and protocol communities that if IANA's performance is lacking, those communities can pursue defined processes for improving performance, including pre-agreed independent 3rd party arbitration processes. ICANN reaffirms its commitment to implement all IANA registry functions in accordance with the respective policies. ICANN will also provide affirmations to all stakeholders (including governments) from all Internet registry policy bodies and itself that all of us will use open and transparent processes.

This 30-day review period will close this Friday, 28 March, and we encourage community members to provide comments to arin-consult at arin.net regarding this topic. You can subscribe to this mailing list at:a http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult If you have any questions, please contact us at info at arin.net. Regards, Communications and Member Services American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) WHAT ARE THE CORE REASONS FOR THE UPDATE TO THE ARIN WHOIS TERMS OF USE? This TOU is an update to the current version of the ARIN Whois Terms of Use. Due to the nature of the changes, it is not useful to describe the changes line by line. This new version includes a number of revisions including the following: ? More robust, clear and detailed identification of permissible and prohibited uses of the ARIN Whois service; ? Mutual warranties regarding a User's and ARIN's authority to enter into the TOU; ? Clear reference to ARIN's Privacy Statement and conditions of information collected; ? Limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties to clarify ARIN's liability in providing the Whois service; ? Defined dispute resolution process in the event a User claims there has been a breach of the TOU; and ? Various administrative terms to more clearly identify and define the contractual relationship between ARIN and a User of the Whois service. ARIN has constructed this new TOU to improve the documentation of the relationship between Users of Whois and ARIN as the conditions under which ARIN provides its core service to the community. This was also done to aid members of the community who use Whois in having a clear understanding as to their rights and obligations with regard to Whois, as well as clarifying ARIN's rights and obligations.
