Transition another step closer as accountability proposal is sent to
Chartering Organizations
* The final CCWG-Accountability proposal for accountability enhancements
that must be in place or committed to within the timeframe of the IANA
Stewardship Transition has been sent to its six Chartering Organizations for
adoption.
* The CWG-Stewardship is finalizing a letter confirming that the
CCWG-Accountability proposal meets all of their requirements.
* The ICG will finalize their proposal for transmission to the ICANN Board
and NTIA upon receiving confirmation from the CWG-Stewardship.
CCWG-Accountability proposal
On 23 February, the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability (CCWG-Accountability
<https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+A
ccountability> ) forwarded
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-February/
011410.html>  its Final Supplemental Proposal on Work Stream 1
Recommendations 
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58723827>  for the
approval of its six Chartering Organizations (GNSO
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/> , ALAC <https://atlarge.icann.org/> , ccNSO
<http://ccnso.icann.org/> , GAC
<https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee> ,
ASO <https://aso.icann.org/> , SSAC <https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac> ).
The Final Supplemental Proposal incorporates:
* Feedback received during the public comment period
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-ccwg-accountability-proposal-20
15-11-30-en>  on the Third Draft Proposal
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56145016> .
* Further development of the recommendations by the CCWG-Accountability
members and participants to resolve the sometimes-conflicting issues raised
by community feedback.
* A change made as a result of concerns expressed by some members of the GAC
and by theICANN Board regarding whether or not the GAC could be a member of
the Empowered Community when invoking an Independent Review Process
triggered by the Board acting on GACadvice. Initially, the Supplemental
Proposal recommended not including the GAC as a part of the Empowered
Community in such circumstances (on the CCWG-Accountability list, this was
termed the ³carve out² of the GAC); the final version removes this
constraint.
Final approval of CCWG-Accountability¹s Work Stream 1 recommendations
triggers the next phase in theIANA Stewardship Transition  the transmission
of both the transition and accountability proposals to theNTIA by way of the
ICANN Board of Directors. The transmission is expected to take place during
or immediately following the Public ICANN Board Meeting on 10 March.

IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal
The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG
<http://www.ianacg.org/> ) has requested confirmation
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2016-February/004745.html>
that the CCWG-Accountability Supplemental Draft Proposal meets all of the
requirements of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA
Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG+to+Develop+an+IAN
A+Stewardship+Transition+Proposal+on+Naming+Related+Functions> ).
The CWG-Stewardship held a teleconference
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58721766>  on 25
February to discuss its response to the CCWG-Accountability Chartering
Organizations and the ICG regarding whether the Supplemental Proposal meets
all of the CWG-Stewardship¹s requirements. The draft letter of confirmation
is here 
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/attachments/20160220/95fec848
/CWGCommentLetter-CCWGFinalProposal-SidleyDraft-213202714-v3-0001.docx> .
When the ICG receives confirmation from the CWG-Stewardship, the ICG will
finalize the Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department¹s
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the
Global Multistakeholder Community
<https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop
osal-EN.pdf>  for delivery to the ICANN Board to transmit to NTIA. To do
this, theICG will hold a teleconference
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58721766>  on
March 1.
IANA Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
A group consisting of representatives from the three IANA operational
communities has been finalizing details on how IANA IPR should be managed
after the transition has occurred.
IANA IPR consists of three IANA trademarks (Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority, IANA and the IANAlogo) and their registrations as well as three
IANA-related domain names (iana.org <http://iana.org/> , iana.net
<http://iana.net/> , andiana.com <http://iana.com/> ).
These discussions are still underway. To follow recent developments you can
follow the mailing list, iana-ipr, which is publicly archived here
<https://www.nro.net/pipermail/iana-ipr/> .
