美国宣布有意移交IANA监督权到底意味着什么?

最近一直在关注NTIA移交IANA监督权的话题,也去参加了一些相关的国际会议,产生了一些想法,想和大家分享。在此之前,先分享一些背景吧。 今年3月14日,NTIA(美国国家电信和信息管理局)宣布有意将IANA(互联网号码分配机构)的监督权移交至全球多利益相关方社群。NTIA称,它不会接受采用以一家政府主导或一家政府间合作组织来取代NTIA职责的解决方案(也就是说,不能让联合国或类似主体接手)。而从1998年起,ICANN(互联网名称与数字地址分配机构)一直在通过与NITA的合同行使IANA管理职能。所以,美国政府希望ICANN召集多利益相关方来制定一套移交提案。 先从美国政府的这一声明说起吧。与业内同行聊天,达成的共识是,美国政府选择在这个时间点宣布放权IANA,从国际政治的角度看,是明智之举。 这个时间点是指什么? 是指巴西时间4月23日召开的全球互联网治理大会之前。这场全球大会的诉求,缘起2013年的美国窃听事件。随着全球被美国NSA窃听的政要名单大白于天下,巴西总统罗塞夫和德国总理默克尔的名字赫然在列,二者都对美国的窃听行径怒不可遏。巴西总统罗塞夫表示,巴西将会避免使用服务器在美国的网络服务;德国总理默克尔发表声明,她支持建立一个独立欧洲网络。在经过多个互联网机构协调,ICANN CEO于巴西总统罗塞夫见面后, 共同牵头在4月23日主办这场旨在推动互联网“多利益相关方模式”治理模式的全球大会(NetMundial),以此批判美国行为,挑战单一的全球互联网政治格局。
