The Internet Society has opened calls for nominations for
its representatives to the Stewardship Transition Coordination Group of National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA), reports DigitalSENSE Business News.
Also, DigitalSENSE Business News noted that on 14 March, 2014, the United States
government National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)
announced its intent to transition stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) functions to the global multistakeholder community.
The NTIA, DigitalSENSE Business News reports, asked the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN), as the IANA functions contractor and global coordinator
for the Domain Name System (DNS), to convene a multistakeholder process to
develop a proposal for the transition.
ISOC, therefore requested to select two nominees to act as
its representatives to the Coordination Group and to notify these to ICANN by 23:59
UTC on 2 July 2014.
Potential candidates, DigitalSENSE Business News
reports are requested to submit a 250 word statement of interest as well as a
separate summary of their relevant qualifications, skills and experience
(curriculum vitae) via ianacommittee@isoc.org.
DigitalSENSE Business News further gathered that the nominations committee comprises Scott Bradner, Kathryn Brown, Narelle Clark (Chairperson), David Farber, Bob Hinden and Jason Livingood, while nomination closes on June 20, 2014.
