It has been amazing to watch how far the community has come in its efforts
to develop proposals for theIANA stewardship transition over the last 18
months. The time and effort that has gone into the process so far is nothing
short of incredible.
In addition to my existing responsibility as the President of the Global
Domains Division, I have also recently taken on the responsibility of
ensuring a successful implementation of the IANA Stewardship transition,
assuming an approved proposal by NTIA. As such, I have been following the
community discussions very closely and assessing the potential impact of any
shifts in the timelines, while working in close collaboration with Theresa
Swinehart, who leads the IANA stewardship transition process in the
development of the transition proposals and the community work to achieve a
successful outcome.  We have determined there are numerous operational
aspects in this phase of the process and planning our work must begin now.
Based on my initial assessment of the current proposals, ICANN will need
approximately four months once the proposals are approved by the U.S.
Government to finish implementing all the required elements. NTIA's contract
with ICANN is set to expire on 30 September, 2016
<http://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2015/update-iana-transition> , but we do not
know when the proposals will be approved by NTIA.  Therefore, it behooves us
to make as much progress as possible prior to the approval of the proposals.
We are already starting pre-planning discussions with the operational
communities and the CCWG to factor in the oversight and reporting needs so
we can have an efficient and productive process to meet the quickly
approaching deadline. We are also working closely with NTIA to identify
elements of the proposals that can be implemented ahead of approval while
respecting the IANA contract obligations.
We look forward to a productive working relationship with the ICANN
community to ensure a smooth and timely implementation.

the work necessary for implementation, please join us for the IANA
