is independent of the ICANN Board. The Board is represented on the ICG by
one liaison. In addition, there is a liaison to the ICG from IANA.
Both liaisons are there to provide information about the IANA functions and to
keep the Board and ICG informed about the implications of the transition.
Like any other member of the community, the ICANN Board can submit public
comments to the ICG about the final proposal. Consistent with U.S.
federal government procurement rules, the NTIA needs to have the final proposal
submitted to it by the ICANN, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
