my immediate reaction is that if the ICG has given up the responsibility of the oversight role in the implementations, this prompts each operational community to perform this oversight and this translates to CWG Stewardship having oversight of the implementation

 would like&nbsp;ICG&nbsp;to play a role during the implementation of the&nbsp;IANA&nbsp;Stewardship Transition. The&nbsp;ICGwill not hold any more face-to-face meetings and will only hold conference calls on an as-needed basis.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
