Call for Observers to Join Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<h3><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In Brief<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The organizations that have adopted the charter for the Cross Community Working Group (CWG) to develop an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related
Functions call for observers to join this effort. The primary goal of the CWG is to produce a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to the Domain Name System.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Participating as observer<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Participation in the CWG is open to members and observers. In addition to members, who are appointed by the chartering organizations, anyone interested in the work of the CWG, can join as an observer.
Observers are expected to actively participate and attend all meetings. The only difference between a member and an observer is that any consensus calls or formal decisions that may need to be made will be limited to CWG members appointed by the chartering
organizations. However, this does not take away that it is the expectation that the CWG will operate as much as possible with the views and consensus support of all participants in mind as the importance of considering all input and views on this important
topic is recognized. Observers may be from a chartering organization, from a stakeholder group or organization not represented in the CWG or currently active within ICANN, or self-appointed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">How to join<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If you are interested in joining, please contact Grace Abuhamad (</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><a href="mailto:grace.abuhamad@icann.org"><span lang="EN-US">grace.abuhamad@icann.org</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">),
or the secretariats of your Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee. All participants (members and observers) will be listed on the CWG's webpage. All observers are also required to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) following the procedures of their
chartering organization, or where that is not applicable for observers, the GNSO Procedures should be followed (see

<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The CWG is currently in formation. To date, the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and the Security
and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) have adopted the charter, and are in the process of appointing members.

<h3><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Background
<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has requested that ICANN "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. In making its announcement, the NTIA specified that the transition proposal must have broad community support and meet the following principles:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maintain the openness of the Internet.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">NTIA also specified that it would not accept a proposal that replaces the NTIA role with a government-led or an intergovernmental organization solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">On June 6 ICANN proposed the creation of an IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) "responsible for preparing a transition proposal reflecting the differing needs of the various affected
parties of the IANA functions."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">It was determined that Stewardship Transition proposals for each of the IANA functions should be developed by the directly affected communities, the IETF and IAB for IANA functions related to Internet
Protocol Parameters; the NRO, the ASO, and the RIRs for functions related the management and distribution of numbering resources; and the GNSO and ccNSO for functions related to the Domain Name System. These efforts will inform the work of the ICG, whose responsibility
is to develop an overall integrated transition proposal from these autonomously developed components.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Two of IANA's global directly affected communities, the addressing and Internet protocol parameter communities, have responded to the NTIA's announcement and the formation of the ICG, by establishing
working groups to provide input on their specific needs and expectations with respect to the IANA Stewardship Transition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This CWG was formed as an integral part of this transition process, and to develop a proposal for the elements of the IANA Stewardship Transition that directly affect the naming community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
