| | CaveBear Blog: An Open Letter to NTIA, ICANN, and IANA |
 | | It is incumbent on ICANN, IANA, and NTIA to justify to the community of internet users that a proposed change to DNS is safe and that its deployment will be carefully monitored and that there are contingency plans should the unexpected happen. |
 | | ICANN, IANA, and NTIA ought to establish a clear mechanism to publish notice of such changes, to scientifically inquire into the effects of such changes, and to safely deploy such changes. |
 | | The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), because it retains ultimate control of the root zone of the domain name system, should require that ICANN and IANA demonstrate the safety of changes to the DNS before such changes are deployed. |
