<div>I'm ok with the statement, but I'm not really sure who it's aimed at. &nbsp;It reads as a bunch of folk clapping at the end of a story. &nbsp;That might be what was intended--simply to mark our approval--which is fine by me.</div>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">If we are submitting it as an indication of support that might be quoted, a more clear explanation of why we welcome the transition would be useful. &nbsp;(Incidentally, and I assume this is simply a language divide, applauding in UK
 English would be a slightly unusual reaction! &nbsp;I might applaud a person or a team, but would welcome the successful result.) &nbsp;So saying something about why multi-stakeholder stewardship is good for the IANA (depoliticising the function, building on what has
 made the Internet so successful, making this part of the Internet infrastructure globally accountable: &nbsp;something like that)</div>

Subject: [Internal-cg] Statement regarding transition <br class="">
<br class="">
Hi all, <br class="">
<br class="">
I&#8217;ve prepared the attached statement for posting to the ICG web site in the event that the NTIA contract expires on Friday. The expiration is still not 100% guaranteed, but I thought it would be good to be ready if it happens. Please send feedback/edits if
 you have them. I will also share this with the ICG comms group for feedback. <br class="">
<br class="">
You&#8217;ll note the final paragraph says the following: <br class="">
<br class="">
&quot;With the expiration of the IANA functions contract, the ICG&#8217;s work is complete and the ICG will formally conclude its existence as a group. The ICG web site will remain archived at
<a href="http://ianacg.org/" class="">ianacg.org</a> for future reference.&#8221; <br class="">
<br class="">
If the contract expires on Friday, I think we can officially declare our work to be complete. Patrik, Mohamed, and I will work with the secretariat to wrap up any loose ends.
<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks, <br class="">
Alissa <br class="">
