Conclusion
The structure proposed by TWNIC and endorsed by DGT is to have TWNIC undertake management of the .tw ccTLD under appropriate oversight by DGT (concerning national public-policy interests) and ICANN (concerning global technical-coordination interests). This structure is consonant with the principle of private-sector responsibility for technical coordination under which the Internet has flourished. In reviewing the request and in light of (a) DGT's endorsement of TWNIC as the appropriate private-sector manager and (b) TWNIC's entry of a sponsorship agreement embodying an appropriate framework of accountability, the IANA concludes that TWNIC is the appropriate delegee of the .tw ccTLD.
