NCUC Singapore 5 - Roadmap for Ecosystem Evolution: Globalization

NonCommercial Users Constituency Conference - Singapore - March 21 2014 - "ICANN and Global Internet Governance: The Road to São Paulo, and Beyond"

5 - Roadmap for Ecosystem Evolution: Globalization

Beginning with the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) negotiations in 2002-2005, unilateral US oversight over 

ICANN via the IANA contract and (since 2009) the Affirmation of Commitments has generated heated global controversy. 

Defenders of the status quo see the US as the only viable steward and as an external check on ICANN.  Opponents argue that 

one national government should not have exclusive authority over critical aspects of Internet governance that affect all 

nation-states and peoples. In October 2013 the major Internet organizations, reacting to the Snowden revelations, issued a 

statement calling for "the globalization of ICANN and IANA functions." These issues will undoubtedly figure prominently in 

the NETmundial meeting.

What might it mean to "globalize" ICANN and the IANA functions?
What should be the role of governments in a globalized model?  What should be the role of civil society, the technical 

community, and the private sector?
If US political oversight is eliminated, how do we ensure the accountability of ICANN and VeriSign?
Should the IANA functions be linked to political oversight or made a purely clerical function?
