The NRO has submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Commerce's 
National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), which sought 
input
on the transition of the technical coordination and management of the
Internet DNS to the private sector.

The NRO endorses the current model for coordinating the Internet domain 
name
and addressing system and believes this model supports the further growth
and evolution of the Internet. The NRO believes that the Memorandum of
Understanding between the Department of Commerce and ICANN should not be
renewed; in other words, the transition should continue along its path to
the eventual completion.

NRO Secretariat
