U.S. WILL KEEP CONTROL OF INTERNET ROOT
Despite previous statements from U.S. officials that the country would
cede its control over the Internet to the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers, a set of principles outlined this week by
the Bush administration states that no such transfer of control will
take place. The United States maintains control of the "root" system
that determines which domains will function, including not just generic
domains such as .com and .org but also country-specific domains.
The principles, which were announced unexpectedly at a conference in
Washington, D.C., are seen by many as a snub of the world community in
general and of certain of its critics in particular. Pakistan and
Brazil, for example, have long complained that the United States has
too much control over the Internet and should give the world's poorer
countries the opportunity to be equal participants.

U.S. Principles on the Internets Domain Name and Addressing
System
The United States Government intends to preserve the security
and stability of the Internets Domain Name and Addressing
System (DNS). Given the Internet's importance to the worlds
economy, it is essential that the underlying DNS of the
Internet remain stable and secure. As such, the United States
is committed to taking no action that would have the potential
to adversely impact the effective and efficient operation of
the DNS and will therefore maintain its historic role in
authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root
zone file.
Governments have legitimate interest in the management of
their country code top level domains (ccTLD). The United
States recognizes that governments have legitimate public
policy and sovereignty concerns with respect to the management
of their ccTLD. As such, the United States is committed to
working with the international community to address these
concerns, bearing in mind the fundamental need to ensure
stability and security of the Internets DNS.
ICANN is the appropriate technical manager of the Internet
DNS. The United States continues to support the ongoing work
of ICANN as the technical manager of the DNS and related
technical operations and recognizes the progress it has made
to date. The United States will continue to provide
oversight so that ICANN maintains its focus and meets its
core technical mission.
Dialogue related to Internet governance should continue in
relevant multiple fora. Given the breadth of topics
potentially encompassed under the rubric of Internet
governance there is no one venue to appropriately address
the subject in its entirety. While the United States
recognizes that the current Internet system is working, we
encourage an ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders around
the world in the various fora as a way to facilitate
discussion and to advance our shared interest in the ongoing
robustness and dynamism of the Internet. In these fora, the
United States will continue to support market-based
approaches and private sector leadership in Internet
development broadly.
