<div><span>Hi all,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>As you have seen, the CCWG proposal has receive approval/no objection from all chartering organizations. So we are ready to move forward! Here is the plan for tomorrow:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>CCWG session - 9:00 UTC</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Patrik, Mohamed, and I will attend the CCWG session that starts at 9:00 UTC. As soon as it looks like they are ready to send their proposal to the Board, we will send ours, at roughly the same time. I have the email ready to go with attachment and link.
Jennifer has the web site announcement ready to post as soon as we send the email.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Public Board meeting - 16:30 UTC</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>At the Board meeting Steve Crocker and other Board members will provide some remarks, and then at some point I will be invited to address the Board and the community, followed by one of the CCWG co-chairs. My proposed remarks for that are below. Then
the hope is that the Board will pass a couple of resolutions to get the proposals sent off to NTIA and the community will be able to celebrate together for a moment.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>A press release will be issued by ICANN and other organizations at the time the Board votes and I will be quoted in the release.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Press conference - following Board meeting</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>After the Board meeting there will be a press conference for local reporters in attendance in Marrakech and remote reporters dialed in via teleconference. I will attend on behalf of the ICG, along with representatives from the CCWG, CWG, IETF, RIRs, and
ICANN. I will stick to the same messages in the comments below, the content of our proposal, and our FAQ and other materials. ICANN will also be publishing an FAQ about the two proposals together and the transition, and our comms subgroup is working with them
on that content, aligning it with our existing content. We will share links to that and the press release when we have them.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Afterwards</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Of course there will be the usual ICANN cocktail tomorrow night, which I imagine may be especially celebratory. :) In the coming days we will respond to media outreach as weve been doing in the past, triaging who can respond based on availability, geography,
etc. </span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Please send questions/comments if you have them. Hope to see many of you at the CCWG meeting and Board meeting tomorrow.</span><br>

<span></span><br>
<span>Remarks to the community and Board:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>At the beginning of this process, the ICG put a simple request out to the communities that have direct operational relationships with IANA: write us a transition proposal. Tell us your community's vision for what happens when the NTIA contract expires.
</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Hundreds of people from all across the world responded to that call -- people with technical, policy, business, and academic backgrounds, people in the public and private sectors and people working in civil society.
</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I want to especially thank every person who participated in the operational community processes in the RIR communities and on the CRISP team, in the CWG, and in the IANAPLAN working group in the IETF. The ICG set tight deadlines and asked tough questions,
and the people who participated in these processes did their utmost to meet our demands. Many of the participants are here in the room and many more are not, and they all deserve a huge round of applause.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>I also want to express deep appreciation to my ICG colleagues, who displayed the true spirit of consensus-based decision-making, compromise, professionalism, and willingness to bridge differences in service of a higher purpose. Thank you.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The result of all of the work that went on in all of the communities is a transition proposal that meets the needs of the Internet and its users. The ICG conducted a rigorous assessment of both the substance of the proposal and the processes that led
to its creation. We found that the proposal was developed through open, inclusive processes. Each component achieved consensus within the relevant community, and the final proposal has broad community support along many dimensions.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>The substance of the proposal supports and enhances the multistakeholder model; maintains the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS; meets the needs and expectations of the global customers and partners of IANA; maintains the openness
of the Internet; and does not replace NTIA's role with that of a government or inter-governmental organization. In other words, it meets the NTIA criteria.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>One particular strength of the transition proposal is that it provides continuity with how the Internet works today. The proposal keeps in place the same operational realities that have supported the Internet's enormous growth since the 1990s. It keeps
the role of the IANA functions team intact and carrying out the same duties as it has today. It relies in large part on time-tested, well-proven structures, processes, and bodies. So the day the NTIA contract expires Internet users should notice no change.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>In sum, this proposal is good for the future of the Internet. The ICG unanimously supports it and recommends that all affected parties implement it.
</span><br>
