- NRO Makes Recommendations to Ensure Future Stability of the Internet Domain Name System
The Number Resource Organization (NRO), formed by the world's five Regional Internet Registries(1), today expresses its support to end the collaboration agreement between the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the US Department of Commerce. The NRO also makes recommendations for the management of the Domain Name System (DNS) to ensure its future stability.

Adiel Akplogan, NRO Chairman, comments: "The continuing development of the Internet is due to the well-established principles of bottom-up industry self-regulation. An industry-driven, multi-stakeholder approach is more flexible than government-based processes, and as a result able to adapt rapidly to meet the changing needs of the Internet and its users.
"We believe that the principles that have guided the management of the DNS until now will enable the growth and development of the Internet in the future too, and advise that US Government involvement in ICANN is no longer necessary."
Industry-wide collaboration between the technical community, supporting organisations, national governments and law enforcement agencies helps ensure an open and transparent policy development process and management of Internet number resources. This approach, as implemented in the ICANN framework, promotes access, diversity, openness and security as well as community-based management of critical Internet resources.
