除此之外,跨社群工作小组还建议在如下方面继续工作,包括如何在ICANN中引入尊重人权的原则,如何将2009年9月30日美国政府和ICANN签署的“承诺确认文件”(Affirmation Of Commitments,AOC)中对于全球互联网社群的承诺引入宪章中[3],以及如何加强各个社群组织自身的问责制度。跨社群工作小组还在筹备在IANA管理权移交完成后继续完善并监督有关的问责制度的实施。
The new era of global governance
IANA over control with ICANN accountability system reform
Xue Hong
Abstract: The United States Department of Commerce National Telecommunications andInformation Administration (NTIA) made the announcement in March 2014 that theIANA stew ship may be relinquished to the global Internet community through aprocess convened by ICANN, which has been operating the IANA function. Allthrough two years, the ICANN IANA Stewardship Transition Steering Group (ISG)completed the transition proposal. Meanwhile, ICANN cross-community workinggroup worked out the proposal on the reform of ICANN accountability mechanisms,which is supplementary to the Stewardship Transition. The NTIA confirmed inAugust 2016 the proposals submitted by ICANN and announced the commencement ofthe stewardship relinquishment from October 1, 2016. The Public Technical Identifier(PTI), a new organization operating IANA function under the contract withICANN, has been established. ICANN’s Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation havebeen amended to implement the new accountability mechanisms. With the comingclose of the saga, the new power landscape will emerge and the dynamics of themulti-stakeholder governance will be changed.
