On 14 March 2014, the NTIA announced its intention to transition its stewardship role of IANA functions, and called upon ICANN to launch and facilitate a process with the community to derive a proposal to transition stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community, meeting the criteria set out by the NTIA.
Following community dialogue, the process for developing a proposal for this transition was posted on 6 June 2014. As a part of this process, a Coordination Group will be responsible for preparing a transitional proposal respective of the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA functions.
See here for a full list of the Coordination Group Representatives.
The first face-to-face meeting of the Coordination Group will take place in London from 08:00-17:00 UTC on 17-18 July at the Hilton London Metropole Hotel.
UPDATE: The agenda for the 2-day Coordination Group Meeting can be found here [PDF, 37 KB].
The global multistakeholder community will be able to follow the Coordination Group’s first meeting through the Virtual Meeting Room and through audio translations into these languages:
In addition, the community is encouraged to join the conversation through use of the online discussion forum or ICANN‘s dedicated IANA Transition mailing list to discuss the transition process.
