[image: US Senate]Today *Tuesday May 24 2016* at 10am EDT (14:00 UTC) the
the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
<http://www.commerce.senate.gov/>, will convene a full committee hearing
titled “Examining the Multistakeholder Plan for Transitioning the Internet
Assigned Number Authority
<http://www.commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/hearings?ID=418B1D81-1F0B-4E09-BB71-A98FBABE42B9>”.
The hearing will examine the proposed transition of oversight of the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), a department of the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that allocates Internet
IP addresses and domain names, to the global multistakeholder community.
Two years ago, the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) announced its intention to transition IANA functions.
On March 10, 2016, ICANN forwarded to the NTIA a transition proposal
developed by the international community of Internet stakeholders. The NTIA
set a target of 90 days to complete its review. Witnesses will testify on
advantages and disadvantages of the proposed transition of IANA functions
to the global multistakeholder community.

Witnesses:
*Mr. *Michael Beckerman*, President and CEO, The Internet Association
*Mr. *Steve DelBianco*, Executive Director, NetChoice
*The Honorable *David A. Gross*, former U.S. Coordinator for International
Communications and Information Policy, U.S. State Department
*Mr. *Rick Manning*, President, Americans for Limited Government
*Mr. *Brett Schaefer*, Jay Kingham Fellow in International Regulatory
Affairs, Heritage Foundation
*Mr. *Andrew Sullivan*, Chair, Internet Architecture Board
