In care of Steve Crocker, ICANN Board Chair

The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) has finalized the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal and is hereby forwarding it to the ICANN Board for transmission to NTIA. The final proposal is attached to this email and available at <link>. The ICG unanimously supports this proposal and recommends that all affected parties implement it.

According to the agreement reached between the ICG and the ICANN Board in November 2014 [1][2], the ICG expects that the ICANN Board will send the report to NTIA without making any changes within 14 days of receiving the proposal and that the Board will make public any communications it sends to NTIA together with the proposal. Given that the ICG has received no indications from the Board of any remaining concerns with the proposal, we do not expect the Board to document any concerns with it in its correspondence to NTIA.

Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have questions.

Regards,
Alissa Cooper, Patrik Fälström, and Mohamed El Bashir
on behalf of the ICG
