[Internal-cg] Letter to the ICG from NTIA on the IANA Stewardship Transition

Thu May 14 11:35:46 UTC 2015

Dear All,
In the second paragraph of the NTIA LETTER, IT IS STATED
Qoute
"* ......including the community views as to how long it will take to
finalize the transition plan and IMPLEMENT IT after it approved "*
Unquote
The report of the ICG,among other things mainly depends on the report from
CWG which is still in commenting period..
That report ,once finalized is also depends on the activities of CCWG for
work stream 1 which is also in public comment period.
At the last CCWG CALL, THE TIME LINE FOR THE COMPLETION AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF WORK STREAM  1 was envisaged to  be not  earlier than July 2016.
Moreover, we do not yet know the precise timeline for the completion of CWG
REPORT and the exact time that such report will be sent to ICG for review.
Taking into account the speific question of NTIA "*how long it will take to
finalize the transition plan and IMPLEMENT IT after it approved "* ,ICG
needs to discuss and provide its answer, no doubt after the ICANN 53
meeting during which the f2f meeting of ICG will take place.
In view of the above, we should have a fairly conservative time line for
discussion at our next call as well as f2f meeting
As usual, some ICG colleagues are in hurry to  send the ICG prioposal to
NTIA.,
I draw the attention of the chair and the managemnet team as well as all
distinguished and respectful ciolleagues of  ,.

> Couple of notes regarding the updated timeline:
>
> - The timeline includes an ICANN-standard 40-day public comment period on

> - The chairs are looking into the possibility of having an ICG F2F meeting

> - ICANN 54 is October 18-22.
