ICANN, The IANA Transition and The Marrakech Package

After thousands of hours of work and hundreds of meetings, the final steps in a comprehensive package on the historic transition of some key technical Internet functions, critical to the Internet’s smooth operation, to global stewardship were agreed to at the closing day of the ICANN public meeting in Marrakech.

The prescribed plan is a testament to the hard work of the global Internet community and the strength of the multistakeholder model, and marks a significant moment in the history of the Internet. The community has completed a herculean task in negotiating the major concerns within the package and the final outcome is one that the i2Coalition is proud to support.
