Announcement on IANA Stewardship Transition
Dear Members of the At-Large Community, *The IANA Stewardship Transition is Complete* Today, on 1 October, the IANA functions contract between ICANN and NTIA expired. The expiration of the contract between ICANN and the United States National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions, will have no impact on end users of the Internet; they will not see any changes or difference in their use of the Internet. This historic moment marks the transition of the coordination and management of the Internet’s unique identifiers to the private-sector, a process that has been committed to and underway since 1998. The ICANN Community, Board and staff as well as the larger Internet community took on this challenge, over two and a half years, and succeeded. Developing the transition proposals was unprecedented, and reflected the multistakeholder community at work. Because of the hard work by everyone, the ICANN organization is now a more accountable and transparent body. There will be some small changes to how ICANN operates, but its underlying goal is the same – to support the Community and ensure the continued stable and secure operation of the DNS. It has been a privilege to be a part of this process where the multistakeholder model of Internet Governance demonstrated its power. I wanted to take a moment to thank and congratulate all of you for your hard work over the past two and a half years to get us to where we are today.

Is expiry of contract between NTIA and ICANN , doesn't automatically imply that ICANN would be the entity dealing with all kinds of activities including IANA work. Dr Govind On Sat, Oct 1, 2016 at 3:08 PM, Sivasubramanian M <isolatedn@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Dr Govind, What I meant is a ceremonial announcement from NTIA on Transition. Hopefully the announcement would be followed by a transition ceremony ! On Oct 1, 2016 8:16 PM, "Dr. Govind" <govind.gac@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Siva. No one speaks for NTIA except NTIA, so I cannot say whether there will be a more formal transition announcement. I believe ICANN will continue to make announcements regarding progress on implementation transition requirements. And ICANN57 will likely have activities that commemorate the Transition.

I join Rinalia in commending everyone! Thank you also to Sebastien Bachollet and previous ALAC Chairs from the conception of ALAC. We are witnessing a full circle example of an empowered community. Better the IETF than any UN organisation ANY day, ALL day! It's what Postel would have wanted :):):) This is fantastic work and spans beyond 2 years with diverse organisations and individuals lobbying, educating, blogging, debating, forums etc on what we have just witnessed. The US through the NTIA are giving up the power to approve changes to the root zone file (RZF). *That is neither a domain name nor a property right*. The RZF is a publicly shared data set.
