I recently wrote a piece on the changing role of governments in the post-transition ICANN, which can be read here: http://thewire.in/2016/03/06/legacy-of-government-influence-looms-as-internet-gears-up-for-ownership-switch-24000/.

The coming days will tell us whether the remaining chartering organisations will accept the CCWG-Accountability package as a whole. ICANN55 at Marrakech promises to be an exciting one. 

Best,
