Understanding the Legal Issues of IANA Transition: What Next for ICANN after the End of US Control of the Internet?
Wednesday 23 November 2016
5pm – 6pm
David Hume Tower · Room 7.01
George Square · Edinburgh EH8 9JX
Dr Humberto Carrasco Blanc
Associate Professor of Law
Universidad Católica del Norte
Chair, Latin American and Caribbean Islands Regional At-Large Organization (LACRALO), ICANN
This presentation aims to explain ICANN and its relationship with internet governance. To this end, it will briefly outline ICANN’s functions and its multi-stakeholder model. In particular, the presentation develops the rationale behind the IANA transition process. For this purpose, it reviews some of the arguments put forward by the US Senator Ted Cruz against the transition process. In the same vein, this work examines the US federal case State of Arizona v. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) that sought to halt the transition process. Finally, it considers the post-transition challenges faced by ICANN.
