<p dir="ltr">Hi Stephanie,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for this great share, I think it's good to note that there was no request to have respective SO/AC formerly present a statement of view before face 2 face so I do hope that the CWG won't hold this against those who haven't made a formal statement. It would have also been very useful to have statement like this made early enough to help maximise the time and provide some guidance. Nevertheless it's better late than never.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That said, having read through the document VERY briefly, I largely agree with most of the views/recommendations made except the one that touch on the stakeholder that decides whether there is need to move the IANA function to another operator. My personal view is that such decision should not be left to the so-called direct customers alone; It should rather be on consensus basis across the stakeholders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On a lighter note, it's good to note that the document referred to ICANN as the "current" IANA operator. (Hopefully this would help inform Greg, as the principle document gets finalised).</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am no longer certain of my physical presence in Istanbul but will be sure to follow happenings remotely just incase.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Looking forward to a focused, goal based and rewarding 2 days of CWG meeting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the face-to-face meeting coming up the gTLD Registry participants in the CWG have taken the opportunity to identify shared positions on the IANA Stewardship Transition and the current work of the CWG, and to solicit wider feedback
from the RySG. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The attached statement was prepared by gTLD members participating in this working group with input and support from the wider Registries Stakeholder Group. Though no formal vote was taken, all feedback received was constructive and supportive
of the statement. It is meant as a follow-on to the RySG comments provided on the Draft IANA proposal, taking into account additional work and developments since December.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope you’ll take the time to review the statement in advance of the Istanbul meeting and that it provides useful clarity into concerns and recommendations of gTLD Registry representatives participating in this work.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please do not hesitate to raise any questions or responses.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best, and safe travels to all heading to Istanbul.<u></u><u></u></p>
