ICANN will initiate the launch of the multistakeholder-designed process for the community at the ICANN 49 Meeting in Singapore (21-27 March 2014) to address how the mechanisms for the transition should occur. Input from the community discussions will be compiled and incorporated into the consultation materials anticipated to be posted on 7 April for public comment and community feedback.
Feedback can be sent by posting on the ianatransition@icann.org mailing list. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the ianatransition Archives. The deadline for input is 27 March 2014 (midnight UTC)
