Today, on behalf 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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> Board,
I am pleased to announce the <a href="http://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-05-27-en" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 152, 213); text-decoration: none;">adoption</a> of the <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/adopted-bylaws-27may16-en.pdf" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 152, 213); text-decoration: none;">new <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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> Bylaws</a>,
which reflect changes made as a result of the <a href="https://www.icann.org/stewardship-accountability" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 152, 213); text-decoration: none;"><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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">IANA</abbr> Stewardship
Transition package of proposals</a>. The new Bylaws are the result of hundreds of hours of work by the community and the legal teams. The Regional Internet Registries Service Level Agreement and Internet Engineering Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Supplemental
Agreement have also been approved for signing and will go into effect after the transition.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">
Later today, <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" class="" 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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> will
be transmitting the new Bylaws to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (<abbr title="US National Telecommunications and Information Agency" class="" 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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">NTIA</abbr>). <abbr title="US National Telecommunications and Information Agency" class="" 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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">NTIA</abbr> has
previously stated that adoption of the new Bylaws is required for them to complete their review of the proposals, which is expected to occur in June.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">
This is an important milestone for <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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">ICANN</abbr> and
the community. As we await the release of <abbr title="US National Telecommunications and Information Agency" 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; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s;">NTIA</abbr>’s
