<h4>Introduction</h4>
<p>For a long time core functions of the Internet, such as the the
overall administration of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (IANA), have been under supervision of the US government.
Recently, the US government announced its intent to transition part of
its oversight role to the global multistakeholder community. This
announcement attracted a great deal of attention and has sparked some
very lively discussions. You can find more information on ISOC’s <a href="http://www.internetsociety.org/ianaxfer" title="IANA Transition on ISOC website" target="_blank">IANA transition website</a>.</p>
<p>We invite you to an event where the IANA transition process will be
explained by experts. You will also get an update on its status and
other interesting topics regarding ICANN and IANA.</p><p>So far we have one speaker confirmed: Massimiliano Stucchi from RIPE NCC. Confirmations from further speakers are still pending.</p><p>Please mark the date in your personal calendars and submit your registrations ASAP on our event webpage: <a href="http://www.isoc.ch/events/what-happens-to-iana" title="What happens to IANA?">What happens to IANA?</a></p><p>Looking forward to your registrations!</p><p>cheers<br> Bernie, Chairman<br></p></div></div>
