RD278 - ETNO Reflection Document in Response to the Notice of Inquiry from the United States Department of Commerce on the Midterm Review of the Joint Project Agreement with ICANN

This is ETNO's reply to the NTIA inquiry on “The Continued Transition of the Technical Coordination and Management of the Internet’s Domain Name and Addressing System: Midterm Review of the Joint Project Agreement” (Docket No. 071023616–7617–01).
ETNO  reiterates its strong support to the private multi-stakeholder model ICANN is built on. The Association believes ICANN has made significant progress on meeting the terms of the Joint Project Agreement. ICANN should complete the transition to an International Organisation in its own right. ETNO is confident that ICANN, together with its stakeholders, will meet the requirements of the transition.

ETNO  reiterates its strong support to the private multi-stakeholder model ICANN is built on. The Association believes ICANN has made significant progress on meeting the terms of the Joint Project Agreement signed on September 29, 2006.
ICANN has matured as an organisation, and should complete the transition to an International Organisation in its own right. ETNO asks for ICANN, with input from all stakeholders, to review and agree a timetable so that ICANN can adapt its structure to ensure fair and equitable involvement and representation of, and by, all stakeholders in this new context and so complete its transition. ETNO is confident that ICANN, together with its stakeholders, will meet the requirements of the transition, and will actively participate in any evaluation process to ensure that the requirements have been met.
