IANA Oversight Transition

On 14 March 2014, the US Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced the intention to transition the oversight of key Internet functions, including the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), to the global Internet multi-stakeholder community.

AFRINIC will work with AFRINIC Members, the African community, governments and other industry stakeholders throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean to facilitate discussion and formulate effective input into the oversight transition proposal to ensure that the region’s unique needs are taken into consideration.

Discussion about the IANA Oversight Transition will take place during the AFRINIC-21 Meeting. Time and date will be confirmed shortly.
