I would like to join the voices that are expressing the opinion that we
would should not view positions on various aspects of the proposed post
IANA transition governance structures as reflecting positions by
governments with various track records with regard to openness, privacy
and security. The Internet is a disruptive technology in a number of
areas, include governance itself.
Seun Ojedeji’s comments about the internationalization of ICANN
underline that what we mean by “internationalization” in terms of
governance is similarly in a disruptive state. The multilateral
solutions of the post World War II period have shown strengths, but also
enough weaknesses that they are deemed not an appropriate option here.
There is no “Emerald City” international governance template that is the
gold standard of multistakeholder governance. We are building in
disrupted territory here.
The future for ICANN, however the IANA transition unfolds, will of
necessity be a work in process. Much of what is being worked on now it
to build in enough strengths to protect the IANA and ICANN missions, and
safeguards so that the governance work in progress, beyond the
transition, is not be driven in the wrong directions.
