and in Dropbox, a new version of ICG FAQ reflecting the latest views and
comments shared .. I have also attached below the final compilation of answers
to Q#15 & Q#16 for your convenience .. Kindly note that I took the liberty
to change "ICG proposal" or "ICG's proposal" to "proposal
submitted by the ICG", to avoid being misunderstood as attributing the
community's proposal solely to the ICG .. Hope this is ok with everyone ..<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:
justify;line-height:normal;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>The ICG is
independent of the ICANN Board. The Board is represented on the ICG by
two liaisons (Mrs. Elise Gerich, IANA Staff Expert; and Mr. Kuo-Wei Wu,
ICANN Board Liaison), who are there to provide information about the IANA
functions and to keep the Board and the ICG informed about the implications of
the transition. Like any other member of the community, the ICANN Board
can submit comments through the established procedures for public
comment. Consistent with U.S. federal government procurement rules, the
NTIA needs to have the final proposal submitted to it by the ICANN Board, but
the Board does not have community approval to modify the proposal submitted by
the ICG. When the ICG submits the final proposal to ICANN, it will also
be released to the general public and to NTIA as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
