All, Please find the announcement posted below (full text and link): https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-02-02-en The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG)'s <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-iana-stewardship-08sep14-en .pdf> Request for Proposals [PDF, 84 KB] from the operational communities noted the following: "While the ICG is requesting complete formal proposals through processes convened by each of the operational communities, and that all interested parties get involved as early as possible in the relevant community processes, some parties may choose to provide comments directly to the ICG about specific aspects of particular proposals, about the community processes, or about the ICG's own processes. Comments may be directly submitted to the ICG any time via email to <mailto:icg-forum@icann.org> icg-forum@icann.org." The ICG will next be discussing the protocol parameters and numbers proposals on February 6. As such, the ICG requests that community comments concerning those two proposals or the processes used to create them be received by February 4 at 23:59 UTC. Comments received after that time will not be considered as part of Step I of the <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-transition-assembly-finali zation-24dec14-en.pdf> ICG's Proposal Assembly and Finalization Process [PDF, 89 KB] for the protocol parameters and numbering proposals.
