Oct. 12, 2016

Dear All, Following the Drafting Team's request for input concerning pertinent issues that would prevent adoption of the proposed charter for the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group from all ICANN SO/ACs (see https://community.icann.org/x/7Bq4Aw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>), the Drafting Team has received a request from the GNSO leadership team to have a webinar to allow for a walk through of the charter followed by Q & A to address any questions there might be. As such, a webinar will be organized on Thursday 13 October at 16.00 UTC. This webinar will also be open to other SO/ACs as others may have been similarly challenged to give the proposed charter due consideration (note, to date only formal input has been received from the ccNSO (see https://community.icann.org/x/7Bq4Aw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>). If you are interested in participating, please confirm your attendance at gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>. Note that the webinar will be recorded and transcribed.

As you may recall, representatives of all ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO (which decided not to take part in the DT effort), participated in the DT deliberations (see https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> for DT members). This proposed charter is the result of extensive input and deliberations, including careful review of input that was received as part of the cross-community session at ICANN 56 in Helsinki (see https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> and we believe it now represents a careful balance between the different viewpoints and perspectives, including from both the DT Members and the ICANN Board liaisons to the DT. As such, the DT would like to request you review the proposed charter with this careful balance in mind and only flag to the DT any pertinent issues that would prevent your respective SO/AC from adopting this charter. We would like to request you highlight such pertinent issues by 30 September 2016 at the latest, including an indication of when you anticipate your respective SO/AC to be in a position to consider the charter for adoption following 30 September, provided that no pertinent issues have been identified by any of the ICANN SO/ACs. Of course, should you have any clarifying questions, please do not hesitate to respond to this message. The DT looks forward to receiving your feedback. Best wishes, Jonathan Robinson, DT Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair

Announcement on IANA Stewardship Transition
by Rinalia Abdul Rahim Oct. 3, 2016

Oct. 3, 2016

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. Best regards, Rinalia Abdul Rahim ICANN Board Director Links to announcements that have gone out about the IANA Stewardship transition: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2016/statement-assista nt-secretary-strickling-iana-functions-contract https://www.icann.org/news/blog/final-implementation-update https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-30-en https://www.icann.org/news/blog/cheers-to-the-multistakeholder-community
