Re: [lac-discuss-en] [EURO-Discuss] Announcement on IANA Stewardship Transition



Hi, Siva.

No one speaks for NTIA except NTIA, so I cannot say whether there will be a
more formal transition announcement.

I believe ICANN will continue to make announcements regarding progress on
implementation transition requirements.  And ICANN57 will likely have
activities that commemorate the Transition.

Best regards,

Rinalia
