Hello, Following the NTIA announcement, ICANN has launched a process to gather community input on the transition process. A call for public input was posted on 8 April. In response to the comments received, a new document has been posted on 6 June: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en There were a lot of critics about the role and composition of the Steering Committee, proposed in the first document, responsible for preparing a transition proposal respective of the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA functions. In my perspective, this new document contains some improvements in the composition and role of the Steering Committee, now called Coordination Committee: 1) the GNSO (non registry part) has now 3 representatives and there are 2 gTLD Registries representatives, instead of 2 for the whole; 2) one seat to ICC/Basis reinforces the representation of the business interests, 3) no more role for the Chair of the ICANN Board and Chair of the GAC to select group members, 4) the document does not prescribe the roles and responsibilities for the Coordination Group. The Coordination Group will work toward defining its modes of operation and working methods, 5) the Coordination Group may be supported by an independent Secretariat funded by ICANN. One should however regret the over-representation of the "technical" community: ASO, IAB, IETF, NRO, RSSAC, RSSAC. two seats each, one for ASO. The introduction of a IANA staff member, as a liaison, is positive. Names of selectees should be provided no later than 2 July 2014 through a submission form and will be made publicly available. Communities are encouraged to make their final selections by the end of the ICANN meeting in London.
