that have adopted the charter for the Cross Community Working Group (CWG) to
develop an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Stewardship Transition

the CWG is open to members and observers. In addition to members, who are
appointed by the chartering organizations, anyone interested in the work of the
CWG, can join as an observer. Observers are expected to actively participate and
attend all meetings. The only difference between a member and an observer is
that any consensus calls or formal decisions that may need to be made will be
limited to CWG members appointed by the chartering organizations. However, this
does not take away that it is the expectation that the CWG will operate as much
as possible with the views and consensus support of all participants in mind as
the importance of considering all input and views on this important topic is
recognized. Observers may be from a chartering organization, from a stakeholder
group or organization not represented in the CWG or currently active within
ICANN, or self-appointed.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN lang=EN-US style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>On June 6 ICANN
proposed the creation of an IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG)
"responsible for preparing a transition proposal reflecting the differing needs
of the various affected parties of the IANA functions."<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-US style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>It was determined
that Stewardship Transition proposals for each of the IANA functions should be
developed by the directly affected communities, the IETF and IAB for IANA
functions related to Internet Protocol Parameters; the NRO, the ASO, and the
RIRs for functions related the management and distribution of numbering
resources; and the GNSO and ccNSO for functions related to the Domain Name
System. These efforts will inform the work of the ICG, whose responsibility is
to develop an overall integrated transition proposal from these autonomously
developed components.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-US style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>Two of IANA's
global directly affected communities, the addressing and Internet protocol
parameter communities, have responded to the NTIA's announcement and the
formation of the ICG, by establishing working groups to provide input on their
specific needs and expectations with respect to the IANA Stewardship
Transition.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-US style='FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>This CWG was
formed as an integral part of this transition process, and to develop a proposal
for the elements of the IANA Stewardship Transition that directly affect the
naming community.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
