Based on that review, barring any significant impediment, NTIA intends to allow the IANA functions contract to expire as of October 1." The letter was sent as a result of NTIA's review of ICANN's IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal Implementation Planning Status Report<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ViQQcYSJ6zHxH3ULwgdF2Zv6jChovtIHlfBjy368tHHE…>, which was submitted<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ViQQcYSJ6zHxH3ULwgdF2Zv6jChovtIHlfBjy368tHHE…> to the administration on 12 August. In that report, ICANN informed NTIA that it has completed or will complete all the necessary tasks in advance of 30 September 2016 to allow the IANA functions contract to expire. ICANN is pleased with NTIA's statement and is focused on the few remaining tasks to be completed by the end of the month.

With this filing and receipt, PTI is now formed as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and controlled affiliate of ICANN. The PTI incorporation documents were drafted to reflect the recommendations of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) proposal, as provided to the ICANN Board and transmitted to NTIA on 10 March 2016. PTI was formed to perform the naming-related IANA functions under contract with ICANN. However, for purposes of coherence of the IANA functions and overall operational logistics, the ICG proposal also requires that the performance of the IANA numbering and protocol parameter functions be subcontracted to PTI. Although PTI now exists as a legal entity, it is not yet performing any work. PTI will not perform any services under the IANA functions contract with NTIA. PTI will only start performing the IANA functions upon the successful completion of the transition.

[https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/ICANN_SG14_…] GNSO Council Adopts Response to GAC Communiqué The Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) formally adopted its response to the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) Helsinki Communiqué and transmitted its conclusions<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ViQQcYSJ6zHxH3ULwgdF2Zv6jChovtIHlfBjy368tHHE…> to the ICANN Board. The purpose of these reviews is to provide feedback to the ICANN Board as it considers issues referenced in the GAC Communiqué which the GNSO identifies as relevant to generic top-level domains. Read the GNSO review<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ViQQcYSJ6zHxH3ULwgdF2Zv6jChovtIHlfBjy368tHHE…> of the GAC Helsinki Communiqué. GAC Prepares for ICANN57 The leadership of the GAC has been actively working to create an agenda for ICANN57. The GAC plans to hold dedicated sessions to meet with the Generic Names Supporting Organization, the At-Large Advisory Committee, the Country Code Names Supporting Organization and the ICANN Board. It will also hold focused discussions on priority topics, including New Generic Top-Level Domains Subsequent Procedures, Work Stream 2 of the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability and various internal matters. Each GAC working group will each have a one-hour session to advance its work and update the GAC. Also, at the invitation of India, the host country, the GAC will engage in local outreach and capacity-building activities on the first and last days of ICANN57. ccNSO Members to Elect Councilors and Nominate Candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11 From September to December 2016, Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) members will elect one Councilor from each respective ICANN region. In the event that two or more candidates from the same region are nominated and accept their nomination, an election will be conducted among the members from that region. In addition, there will be a special election in the African region to fill a vacancy on the ccNSO Council. Moreover, ccNSO members will also nominate - and if two or more candidates are nominated, elect - a candidate for ICANN Board Seat 11. The term begins at the Annual General Meeting in 2017. Only ccNSO members, via their primary contacts, are eligible to vote. Framework of Interpretation Implementation Advisory The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) received a request not to contact the administrative and technical contacts listed in the IANA database with issues of delegation or revocation or retirement of a country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Instead, these more serious changes to the IANA database warrant a separate procedure and contact person. ICANN staff members working on the implementation of the Framework of Interpretation (FOI) have raised some questions on how to implement this request. Based on conversations and input received, the FOI Implementation Advisory Team, consisting of Becky Burr and Keith Davidson, recently advised IANA staff as follows: * There has been no consistency in the feedback received from the very small pool of ccNSO Councilors. Opening up the consultation to seek more, additional opinions will be no avail. * IANA should introduce a field to record the instruction from the ccTLD with respect to the approval contact in case of more serious changes to the IANA database. Each ccTLD manager should be asked to give individual instructions. New ARIN Webpage Facilitates IPv6 Planning Organizations are often unsure how to determine the amount of IPv6 address space they actually need. To address this concern, the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) has developed a new webpage<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ViQQcYSJ6zHxH3ULwgdF2Zv6jChovtIHlfBjy368tHHE…> dedicated to helping organizations plan for IPv6, specifically for determining how much space an organization requires. The goal of this webpage is to demonstrate how easy it is to switch from IPv4 to IPv6. For more information about the process, please contact ARIN<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ViQQcYSJ6zHxH3ULwgdF2Zv6jChovtIHlfBjy368tHHE…>.
