Abstract

This document analyzes the surrounding legal jurisdictional, operational, and functional requirements and practices in light of potential transitions of Internet DNS name and numbering responsibilities and administration. It notes that although international and domestic bodies like the ITU or FCC possess jurisdiction in this area, they are likely to be receptive to participating in and sanctioning some form of new adhoc international and domestic alliances effected by service providers and operations bodies. Such an approach would also provide a measure of immunity from litigation, and comport with traditional Internet community preferences for distributed bottom-up solutions undertaken by existing ISP and operations communities whose interests are most affected, rather than top-down single organization oversight and control.
