Dear MANRS Community, As you may know, the Internet Society, in collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders, launched the MANRS initiative in 2014 and has performed the operational (secretariat) functions since. As part of its role, the Internet Society has been seeking partnerships to expand MANRS and guarantee its long-term financial sustainability. We are pleased to inform you that the Internet Society has reached a partnership agreement with the Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) <https://globalcyberalliance.org> for it to assume the day-to-day operational responsibility for MANRS effective 1st January 2024. GCA, a MANRS partner since 2020,<https://www.manrs.org/2020/12/partnering-with-global-cyber-alliance-on-open-...> is a non-profit organization whose mission and status are well aligned to further expand MANRS. The GCA is passionate about an open and secure Internet built on technology with routing security being one of their focus areas<https://www.globalcyberalliance.org/blog/?_search=routing>. As part of the partnership, the Internet Society will continue to financially support MANRS and provide training and global advocacy over the next five years, while GCA will provide the secretariat function and operate the MANRS Observatory. The MANRS Steering Committee have expressed their full confidence that MANRS will continue to be a growing, thriving community dedicated to the reliable operation of the Internet’s core routing function under the GCA’s stewardship. As a MANRS participant, you can expect the transition will yield no interruption in operational processes, functions, and systems. Information sharing, support, training, and development will continue as they have during the transition period. The ongoing MANRS Steering Committee elections will also not be affected in any way. This blog on the MANRS website<https://www.manrs.org/2023/11/achieving-greater-heights-for-manrs/> has more info on this partnership. If you have any questions, please send an email to manrs-questions@isoc.org<mailto:manrs-questions@isoc.org>. Regards Kevin Chege ISOC
