In a statement released today, the Internet Society says during its Board meeting 14-15 February, the Board of Trustees praised the progress made by the global Internet community on the IANA stewardship transition and emphasized that a successful transition will reinforce the value of the collaborative, multistakeholder model. The group highlighted the following as key principles to support sustainable evolution of the Internet ecosystem:

Accountability – Robust measures are essential in ensuring that no single group captures the IANA functions.

Transparency – A multistakeholder, bottom-up framework is the most appropriate model for the operation of the IANA functions.
