Last week the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) met in
Los Angeles to review and discuss public comments concerning the Proposal
to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (
IANA) Functions
<https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-proposal-EN.pdf>
[PDF,
2.07 MB]. Upon review of the comments received, the ICG
​ ​
decided to continue advancing the proposal as planned, aiming to make as
much progress as possible <http://t.co/rTV6179hO0>
​ ​
by the time of ICANN 54, scheduled for October 19-22.

During its public comment period
<https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-period/>
that
concluded on September 8, the ICG
​ ​
received more than 150 comments from a wide variety of stakeholders all
over the world. The majority of the comments expressed support for the
proposal. In some cases that support was qualified by suggestions,
questions, and criticism that the ICG is working hard to synthesize and
address as appropriate.

ICG members worked diligently before and during the Los Angeles meeting to
assess the comments. The ICG divided the comments into categories (for
example, those related to the Post-Transition IANA, the Root Zone
​ ​
Maintainer, etc.) and for each category the ICG is examining whether the
comments have already been addressed in the proposal development process,
whether clarifications are needed from the ICG, or whether the ICG will
pose questions or request clarifications from the operational communities.
That work is ongoing and is expected to be finalized this week. ICG
communications
to the communities will request responses by mid-October to allow the ICG to
prepare in advance of ICANN54.

The ICG's decision to adhere to its planned timeline as much as possible
without sacrificing quality for speed is notable in light of indications
that the work in Work Stream 1 of the Cross-Community Working Group on
Enhancing ICANN's Accountability (CCWG) is likely to be delayed. The ICGis
closely following the work of the CCWG and expects to have more clarity
about the trajectory of the CCWG's work after that group meets at the end
of this week.

The ICG's aggressive work schedule will be carried out via phone
conferences and meetings <https://www.ianacg.org/calendar/icg-events/> which,
as always, will be open to silent observers. The next ICG
​ ​
conference call is scheduled for 23 September at 11:00 UTC
<https://www.ianacg.org/icg-announces-upcoming-conference-calls-2/>.

Finally, we chairs want to recognize in these busy days the hard work not
only done by the communities, but our ICG
​ ​
members, our secretariat and ICANN
​ ​
staff helping to ensure that we can move forward as effectively as we are.
