The ICG is independent of the ICANN Board.&nbsp; The Board is represented on the ICG by two liaisons (Mrs. Elise Gerich, IANA Staff Expert; and&nbsp; Mr. Kuo-Wei Wu, ICANN Board Liaison), who are there to provide information about the IANA functions and to keep the Board

 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. &nbsp;When the ICG submits the final proposal to ICANN, it will also be released to the general
