Hi Aziz,
Thank you for sharing this draft with us. 
I think this is an excellent statement and I strongly support its suggestion of phasing the sub-group work and ensure diversity of views.

I have 2 minor edits on the draft statement :
Paragraph 3 : " ... by the ICANN community over the last 2 years towards ..." I think it is better if we remove the number of years to not lessen the work the community did in the past years (more than 2) to push for the transition decision to come out. We can just say " ... by the ICANN community over the past years towards ..."
Paragraph 4 : "That act has put the USA in high regard and will also strengthen the Internet Multi-stakeholder model of Internet Governance. "  To avoid make up one's mind on one specific government, I would rather prefer we say  "That act will also strengthen the Internet Multi-stakeholder model of Internet Governance."

Best,
