It might. But then, first and foremost, the community is working on the IANA stewardship/oversight transition, not the ICANN oversight transition (though I agree they will probably come together) and definitely not the ICANN transition (whatever that might be) nor the IANA transition (though an organizational separation from ICANN as proposed by some, does „upgrade” the stewardship transition to a „full” IANA transition) Best regards, Roelof A.

It probably more directly relates to the Accountability CCWG but accountability mechanisms like this were put in place overall in ICANN, it could impact our proposed solution. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/technology/227375-icann-transition-pla...
