Hello Lise and Jonathan,

A number of registries have got together and produced the attached document as guidance to the CWG. Our goal has been to provide the CWG with some clear information about the thinking of IANA customers about aspects of the transition from the USG. Whilst this guidance document is not, at this stage, specifically endorsed by registries, it has been put together with input from those registries listed below. It is intended to be constructive and to assist the various design teams with their work whilst at the same time providing guidance about the areas that registries may consider to be critical aspects of the plan that the CWG is designing. All of us are happy to engage with the CWG on any aspects of this document or answer any questions.
