ISOC searches for reps @ NTIA, IANA transition group



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.
