  12. Conclusions • One Key Success Factor of the Internet is INTEROPERABILITY! • Internet can NOT allow isolation! • The ccTLDs must follow the technical standars defined by consensus in organizations like: • IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force). • ICANN(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

  13. Conclusions • The internet resources management requires the governments participation • Governments should jump into this positive inertia through the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) of ICANN. • This is the only way to ensure the most fundamental for the Internet users in the world: Stability and Interoperability.
