Topics:
- How will NTIA collect and assess proposals? Has a process been determined? Is there a timeline in place for a decision?
- Does transition of the IANA functions out of NTIA have implications for national security?
- How will NTIA ensure that any transition is smooth and does not affect the daily functioning of the Internet?
- What will be the result if NTIA does not receive a proposal that satisfies the criteria it set forth? Does NTIA plan to exercise the automatic option for renewal on the IANA contract if a satisfactory proposal is not received?
- What sort of multi-stakeholder community would be the ideal replacement for NTIA’s role in the IANA functions?
- What safeguards will be in place to prevent a future change that would allow for governments to seize control?
- What oversight role should Congress play to ensure a successful outcome.
- What will be the practical impact of this transition on Internet users and businesses that utilize the Internet for commerce?
