Given that the ICG has received no indications from the Board of any remaining concerns with the transition proposal, we do not expect the Board to document any concerns with it in its correspondence to NTIA.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have questions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards,</div><div class="">Alissa Cooper, Patrik Fltstrm, and Mohamed El Bashir</div><div class="">on behalf of the ICG</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">[1] <a href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/internal-cg/2014-November/002245.html" class="">http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/internal-cg/2014-November/002245.html</a></div><div class="">[2] <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-transition-assembly-finalization-24dec14-en.pdf" class="">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-transition-assembly-finalization-24dec14-en.pdf</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></div><span class=""><IANA-transition-proposal-final.pdf></span><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
