intent to transition its stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions to the global multistakeholder community. NTIA asked the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), as the IANA functions contractor and global
coordinator for the Domain Name System (DNS), to convene a multistakeholder process to develop a proposal for the transition. This process is currently under way as further described<a href="https://www.icann.org/stewardship"><span style="color:#217BC0;text-decoration:none"> here</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333">During discussions around the transition process, the community raised the broader topic of the impact of the change in the historical contractual relationship with the United States in light of the
transition ofNTIA's stewardship role. The community identified the importance of improving ICANN Accountability & Governance as a crucial aspect and, after community consultations at the ICANN 49 and ICANN50 meetings and a comment period on a draft process
from 6 May – 27 June 2014, ICANN published a<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-08-14-en"><span style="color:#217BC0;text-decoration:none">final Process and Next Steps</span></a> on 14 August 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

formation of the Public Experts Group. These four individuals - who are not part of ICANN's staff or Board – are asked to select up to seven advisors to the Coordination Group. The Public Experts are Mr. Brian Cute, Ms. Jeanette Hofmann, Amb. Janis Karklins,

<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333">The advisors, selected by the Public Experts Group, will bring an external, independent voice to this process to assure that best practices are brought in from outside of the ICANN community.
While there is a level of research and work that the advisors will do on their own, the integration of the advisors with the rest of the Coordination Group is key to considering how the research they perform can be best implemented to solve for the issues
identified. The advisors can also help bring inputs in from their own networks as necessary. Utilized correctly, the advisor inputs will not only assist in developing enhanced accountability practices for ICANN, but provide a model that other multistakeholder
organizations will strive to meet.</span></em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
