[CWG-Stewardship] [ianatransition] A new proposed US bill?

[Robert Guerra]

Agree with Philip's analysis of the situation.

IMHO developments to track in Washington D.C. over the coming months
include:

- Efforts by ICANN and others to brief congressional staffers,
congressional members, and key think tanks in the DC area in regards to
the IANA transition.

- Extent (or not) of bipartisan support for the IANA transition as
proposed by the communities

- Report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on ICANN/IANA.
Report once released will likely form the basis of one or more
congressional hearings.

- Efforts my congressional members to introduce bills and/or amendments
related to IANA/ICANN issues in the appropriations process. NTIA
funding, for instance could be made conditional to changes to IANA
and/or ICANN

regards

Robert
