I can only concur in part with the message. I strongly support the transition and agree that many communities are strongly behind it. Unfortunately the belated deployment of the #yestoiana only five days ago speaks to the fact that while all of us knew that the US Congess would need to eventually sign off on it, little effort was put into speaking to end users (and American voters). We thus find ourselves facing off against the rhetoric of ignorance led by Sen Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.

Dear all,
 
At the Internet Society’s InterCommunity Forum yesterday, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Larry Strickling delivered a strong endorsement of the multistakeholder model. Strickling voiced his support for the work the global Internet community has done over the past two years on the IANA stewardship transition. As the debate on the transition continues in the United States Congress, I believe it is important for us to echo his support for the work of the global Internet community. Let's keep on having our voices heard loud and clear!
 
You can read his remarks here: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/node/2946.
 
Here are some tweets you can send out in support of the multistakeholder model and the IANA stewardship transition:
 
Internet freedom can only be preserved through the multistakeholder model. Say #yestoIANA #ICANN
 
The IANA transition process is a testament to the multistakeholder model. Say #yestoIANA #ICANN
 
It is no surprise that today we find all sectors of the community supporting the #ianasteward transition. #yestoIANA #ICANN
 
Best
