(Telecompaper) The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) has completed its proposal for the transition to a new governance system at its latest meeting in Marrakesh.

In addition to privatising the DNS system, it also proposes ways to enhance Icann's accountability as a fully independent organization answering to a wide range of stakeholders around the world. The proposal for a new model was first agreed in March 2014, and the final plan results from a year of consultations with the global internet community.
