April 23, 2015

Webinar Details & How to Attend The webinars will be run in an Adobe Connect room<https://icann.adobeconnect.com/cwg-iana/>. If you are interested in attending the webinar and would like to receive dial-in details, please send an email to brenda.brewer(a)icann.org<mailto:brenda.brewer@icann.org> and indicate which time you would like to attend the webinar. Please note that the webinar will be conducted in English and will be recorded and transcribed. Subsequently the transcripts will be translated in the 5 UN languages and posted on the CWG-Stewardship Wiki here<https://community.icann.org/x/ryYnAw>. Please share widely. For the original post, please see: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-04-16-en WEBINAR: Cross Community Working Group (CWG) On IANA Naming Related Functions: Briefing on 2nd Draft Proposal for Public Comment Why this matters NTIA Stewardship Transition Following the request of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S Department of Commerce, for ICANN to "convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management, a Cross Community Working Group (CWG-Stewardship) was formed with the purpose of developing a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to domain names. The CWG-Stewardship held briefing webinars on the first draft proposal on 3-4 December 2014, and subsequently received nearly 60 public comments. Following the close of the public comment period, the CWG-Stewardship reviewed the comments and continued to work at an intense pace to prepare its transition proposal, through more than 30 teleconferences, a working session at ICANN 52 in Singapore in February, a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul in March and, most recently, during a two-day meeting block with over 12 hours of conferences to converge on the 2nd draft proposal. With the aim to submit its final proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) by the close of ICANN 53 in June, the CWG-Stewardship highlights the importance of broader community input of their draft, for which the group has received independent legal counsel for structural considerations and external expertise to bolster operational sections.

April 21, 2015

All, I am requesting regional consensus on appointing Judith Hellerstein to the Secretariat post being immediately vacated by Evan Leibovitch who needs to move and begin a new position with the U.N. Judith's service would be the remainder of the election cycle, meaning all the teleconferences and ICANN meetings between now and the October At-Large officer transition at the Dublin meeting. Judith has been serving in the post for several months and I wholly support her appointment. Please express consensus on the NARALO email list. Thank you, Garth -- Garth Bruen gbruen(a)knujon.com 617-947-3805 http://www.knujon.com Chair of ICANN At-Large North America (naralo.org) Twitter: @Knujon
