Dublin and Transition (Steve Crocker)</b></div><div style="font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 14px;">Original Link: <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/dublin-and-transition">https://www.icann.org/news/blog/dublin-and-transition</a></div><div style="font-size: 14px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 14px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I look forward to seeing many of you on the Emerald Isle at ICANN54. I personally have been reinvigorated witnessing the commitment of the community, the CCWG-Accountability in particular, as we work towards completing the last piece of a proposal that will move <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> to an independent, improved and even more accountable organization.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">We all know the reality of the situation we're facing today, not just the timelines but also the need to come together on this last piece of the puzzle. It's not about the Board, nor about any other single stakeholder – it's about the whole community coming together. As I've said before, though I and the other Board members are on the Board now, we are only here for a while, and then we will leave. In two years one of you will take over my seat and I will return to my former role in the wider community. We're all stakeholders – that's the beauty of the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> multistakeholder model. Everyone has a voice – and as soon as anyone says differently or tries to exclude people, well, that's not the Internet community I've participated in and watched evolve over the last 30 plus years, and that's not what <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> is about.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It's about wading through a noisy, and at times robust, but good faith discussion to come together and agree upon a final, balanced approach. Right now, it happens to be about the CCWG-Accountability analyzing and addressing the 93 comments from the last round of public comment, listening to all possible views and opinions from across the community– including those that come forward in Dublin—and developing a final consensus proposal.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">We are in the final stretch of this and it's time for everyone, however involved you've been, to help work towards a consensus.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Dublin will be key as we show the world what our multistakeholder model can accomplish. I know many on the Board are deeply engaged alongside many of you in the working parties and will continue participating in community discussion throughout this process. The CCWG and the broader community both have a lot of discussions ahead. The Board looks forward to participating as one stakeholder of many, and I thank you all for your energy and commitment to this effort. It really is a wonder to behold.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; widows: 1; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">For those of you following the <abbr title="Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">IANA</abbr> Stewardship Transition and Enhancing <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="box-sizing: border-box; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); cursor: help; transition: all 0.2s; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> Accountability processes in Dublin or from your computer at home, below is a quick reference guide to the latest transition-related meetings.
