The work of CWG Stewardship has come to an end
by Lise Fuhr Oct. 7, 2016

Oct. 7, 2016

Dear CWG Colleagues, As you are aware by now, the agreement between the US Government (NTIA) and ICANN, regarding management of IANA functions, expired on 1st October 2016. This means that the IANA Stewardship Transition can now proceed as planned and as such, the CWG has fulfilled its purpose. It has been a long and, at times, very challenging journey for the group. We co-chairs would like to sincerely thank you all and ICANN staff for the hard work and stamina you have shown. You will recall that we had an initial attempt at a model and when this failed to get adequate support from the community, the CWG went back to work and produced a revised model. We did this by modifying the way we worked and we divided the group into design teams in order to have dedicated, focused groups. However, throughout the process, we always returned to the CWG as a whole to evaluate and approve the work. For us as co-chairs it has been very challenging at times, but we have learned a huge amount from all of you and the process itself. This has been an excellent example of how the multi-stakeholder model can work in practice. Not the easiest way to work, but ultimately thorough, inclusive and holistic. In addition to the primary task of producing the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on behalf of the Names Community, we also believe that the work of this group has made a significant contribution to the effective working methods of Cross Community Working Groups. Most recently, there were several political and other issues which threatened to delay or derail the process but the crisis which that would have potentially represented has been averted in the end. This is a very good start for the Stewardship Transition and we believe that the CWG has been the best team to facilitate this work. Our work is now complete and we will have no more meetings. Therefore we will now proceed to dissolve the CWG by writing to the Chartering Organisations in order to communicate that our work is now complete. Thank you for your recent good words on our mailing list, but we think it is critically important to once more thank you and acknowledge the work of the whole group and ICANN staff. We worked together on a historical journey and you have all contributed significantly to the IANA Transition plan, as well as evolving the multi-stakeholder model. Best regards, Jonathan and Lise

Stewardship of IANA Functions Transitions to Global Internet Community as Contract with U.S. Government Ends
by Trang Nguyen Oct. 1, 2016

Oct. 1, 2016

Congratulations everyone :) Original link: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-10-01-en<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> Stewardship of IANA Functions Transitions to Global Internet Community as Contract with U.S. Government Ends Today, 1 October 2016, the contract between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the United States Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to perform the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions, has officially expired<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ntia.doc.gov_press-…>. 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. "This transition was envisioned 18 years ago, yet it was the tireless work of the global Internet community, which drafted the final proposal, that made this a reality," said ICANN Board Chair Stephen D. Crocker. "This community validated the multistakeholder model of Internet governance. It has shown that a governance model defined by the inclusion of all voices, including business, academics, technical experts, civil society, governments and many others is the best way to assure that the Internet of tomorrow remains as free, open and accessible as the Internet of today." Internet users will see no change or difference in their experience online as a result of the stewardship transition. In managing the coordination of the Internet's unique identifiers, ICANN plays a small but significant role in the Internet's ecosystem. For more than 15 years, ICANN has worked in concert with other technical bodies such as the Internet Engineering Task Force, the Regional Internet Registries, top-level domain registries and registrars, and many others. The final chapter of the privatization process began in 2014, when NTIA asked ICANN to convene the global multistakeholder community, which is made up of private-sector representatives, technical experts, academics, civil society, governments and individual Internet end users, to come together and formulate proposals to both replace NTIA's historic stewardship role and enhance ICANN's accountability mechanisms. The package of proposals developed by the global community met the strict criteria<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ntia.doc.gov_press-…> established by NTIAin its March 2014 announcement. Since their submission to NTIA, ICANN and its various stakeholder groups have worked tirelessly to ensure that all the necessary implementation tasks<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> have been completed, so the IANA functions contract could expire on 30 September 2016. The proposals reinforce ICANN's existing multistakeholder model and are also aimed at enhancingICANN's accountability. The improvements include empowering the global Internet community to have direct recourse if they disagree with decisions made by ICANN the organization or the Board. The IANA stewardship transition is a testament to the tireless work of the global community, and a validation of the multistakeholder model that frames that community.
