The Number Resource Organization (NRO), formed by the world's five Regional Internet Registries, has expressed its support to end the collaboration agreement between the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the US Department of Commerce.Â
The DNS is currently managed by ICANN and the US Department of Commerce under an agreement set to expire on 30 September 2009. The NRO recommends that stability, competition, bottom-up coordination and representation remain the guiding principles for the governance of ICANN after this agreement expires.
