eco Dialog on the Future II – New Alignment of Internet Administration

ICANN & eco Invitation: Information and Discussion on IANA Stewardship Transition

The announcement by US Government in March 2014, of their intention to give up supervision of the IANA-functions held by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), led to vital discussions worldwide. According to some press coverage, the IANA Stewardship Transition may lead to the instability of the entire internet. This shows that false information is circulating regarding this topic – either as a result of political intentions or due to a lack of knowledge.

The eco Dialog on the Future takes a closer look at the new alignment of the IANA-function, providing the latest information about the process and discussing it with experts and people who are involved in the process. Get first-hand and insider information at eco about the alignment´s current status.

The US Government demands a succession based on the so-called Multistakeholder-Modell and a transition either to a single or to multiple governments will not be accepted. But how exactly a proposal to the US Government should be designed is not finally defined yet and is the subject of the current discussion.

At the second edition of the eco Dialog on the Future, experts will give first-hand information about the status quo and analyze further steps. The meeting will give the opportunity to ask questions and discuss considerations about possible approaches. Additionally, the meeting will contribute to the development of a position in the German “Internet Governance community”.

If desired by the participants, the meeting will be held according to the Chatham House Rules.
