Here are links to the announcement and public comment page: - Announcement: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-22-en - Public Comment page: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/cwg-stewardship-draft-proposal-2015-0… There are two webinars *tomorrow*.

S. Department of Commerce's NTIA to the global multistakeholder community. The draft proposal has been prepared in order to pave the way for a response (the Final Proposal) to the IANAStewardship Coordination Group (ICG) request for proposals. Though less than the required 40-day minimum, this Public Comment period has been approved by two ICANN Global Leaders. *Public Comment Box Link:* https://www.icann.org/public-comments/cwg-stewardship-draft-proposal-2015-0… ------------------------------ 1 <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-22-en#note1> In March 2014, the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced its intent to transition its stewardship role of the IANA Functions and related Root Zone Management. ICANN was called upon to facilitate this process, and in June 2014, after a series of community consultations, ICANN announced the creation of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG), responsible for preparing a transition proposal reflecting the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA Functions. The ICG announced its Request for Proposals in September 2014, available here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2014-09-03-en. _______________________________________________ CWG-Stewardship mailing list CWG-Stewardship(a)icann.org https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cwg-stewardship

Fwd: [CWG-Stewardship] WEBINAR: CWG-Stewardship Briefing on 2nd Draft Proposal for Public Comment
by Greg Shatan April 17, 2015

April 17, 2015

CSG-IANA list: Please see the announcement below regarding Webinars on the upcoming Draft Proposal for the IANA Stewardship transition. Greg Shatan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Grace Abuhamad <grace.abuhamad(a)icann.org> Date: Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 7:10 PM Subject: [CWG-Stewardship] WEBINAR: CWG-Stewardship Briefing on 2nd Draft Proposal for Public Comment To: "cwg-stewardship(a)icann.org" <cwg-stewardship(a)icann.org> Please share widely. For the original post, please see: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en WEBINAR: Cross Community Working Group (CWG) On IANA Naming Related Functions: Briefing on 2nd Draft Proposal for Public Comment Why this matters NTIA Stewardship Transition <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en#> Following the request of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S Department of Commerce, for ICANN to "convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management, a Cross Community Working Group (CWG-Stewardship) was formed with the purpose of developing a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to domain names. The CWG-Stewardship held briefing webinars on the first draft proposal on 3-4 December 2014, and subsequently received nearly 60 public comments. Following the close of the public comment period, the CWG-Stewardship reviewed the comments and continued to work at an intense pace to prepare its transition proposal, through more than 30 teleconferences, a working session at ICANN 52 in Singapore in February, a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul in March and, most recently, during a two-day meeting block with over 12 hours of conferences to converge on the 2nd draft proposal. With the aim to submit its final proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) by the close of ICANN 53 in June, the CWG-Stewardship highlights the importance of broader community input of their draft, for which the group has received independent legal counsel for structural considerations and external expertise to bolster operational sections. The CWG-Stewardship will hold two identical webinars at different times to facilitate participation across time zones. The webinars will take place on: - *24 April from 06:00 – 07:30 UTC* (time zone converter here <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=CWG-Stewardship+We…> ) - *24 April from 14:00 – 15:30 UTC* (time zone converter here <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=CWG-Stewardship+We…> ) ------------------------------ *Webinar Details & How to Attend* The webinars will be run in an Adobe Connect room <https://icann.adobeconnect.com/cwg-iana/>. If you are interested in attending the webinar and would like to receive dial-in details, please send an email to brenda.brewer(a)icann.org and indicate which time you would like to attend the webinar. Please note that the webinar will be conducted in English and will be recorded and transcribed. Subsequently the transcripts will be translated in the 5 UN languages and posted on the CWG-Stewardship Wiki here <https://community.icann.org/x/ryYnAw>. ------------------------------ *Further information* For further information about the CWG-Stewardship's work, please see https://community.icann.org/x/37fhAg.

Fwd: [CWG-Stewardship] Action Plan & Timeline Change Announcement
by Greg Shatan April 16, 2015

April 16, 2015

All: Please see the important note below regarding the *updated timing* of the work of the CWG on IANA Stewardship. I encourage each constituency to prepare a public comment drafting team in advance of the public comment period and for that team to be as familiar and prepared as possible with the CWG's work, so that the entirety of the public comment period can be used fruitfully. Please also specifically note the Webinars early in the Public Comment period. I am happy to organize a call with the CSG constituencies beyond the webinars if further explanation or discussion is desired. Mark your calendars!
