ICANN Signs MoU With Pacific Island Nations,
by Mary Swire, for LawAndTax-News.com, Hong Kong
Monday, May 14, 2007
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Pacific
Islands Telecommunications Association (PITA) on Thursday announced that they
had signed a Memorandum of Understanding, with the aim of building partnerships
to better share information about the internet.
“This MoU is a step forward in accountability and ensuring the stability
of the Internet. By sharing information, ICANN can learn about the challenges
facing small island nations, and PITA will have access to expertise and ideas
from other areas facing similar challenges, ” explained Dr Paul Twomey,
ICANN’s President and CEO.
The objective of the MoU is to build a non-exclusive partnership that will
see information on internet issues flow in both directions, promote regional
telecommunications and information technology standards, and aid in transferring
skills, knowledge, and capacity to the Pacific Islands region.
“This partnership is a great opportunity for active participation and
collaboration of our members in the ICANN process,” added Maui Sanford,
President of PITA. “The MOU gives all of our stakeholders – telecommunications
companies, vendors, ISPs, and country-code top-level domains – a chance
to actively engage in the ICANN discussions as the Internet is part and parcel
of the ICT industry.”
The parties agreed last week to:
Exchange information on issues relating to the internet emerging from the
respective organization’s work;
Foster a network of stakeholders and decision makers who can contribute
to discussions of Internet security, stability, and interoperability; and
Provide information about respective policies under development and enable
improved participation.
“Sharing information is at the heart of Internet – and it’s
important that we exchange ideas that will make sure the Internet works as well
as possible no matter where you are,” Dr Twomey concluded. “This
new relationship will help Pacific Islands meet the unique challenges they face,
and will help ICANN continue with its mission of ensuring the stable and secure
operation of the Internet’s unique identifier system for users across
the globe.”
