Dear ISOC-CH members We are happy to inform you that we are currently planing another national event about a topic that is currently heavily debated in many places: "What happens to IANA? <http://www.isoc.ch/events/what-happens-to-iana>" Date / Time Thursday, 13. November 2014 *18:00 - 21:30* Location University of Bern, Main Building <http://www.isoc.ch/locations/university-of-bern-main-building> *Hochschulstrasse 4, 3012 Bern* Introduction 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 IANA transition website <http://www.internetsociety.org/ianaxfer>. 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. So far we have one speaker confirmed: Massimiliano Stucchi from RIPE NCC. Confirmations from further speakers are still pending. Please mark the date in your personal calendars and submit your registrations ASAP on our event webpage: What happens to IANA? <http://www.isoc.ch/events/what-happens-to-iana> Looking forward to your registrations! cheers Bernie, Chairman
