> Hi all,

> 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:

> CCWG session - 9:00 UTC

> 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.


> Public Board meeting - 16:30 UTC

> 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.

> 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.


> Press conference - following Board meeting

> 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.

> Afterwards

> 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 we’ve been doing in the past, triaging
> who can respond based on availability, geography, etc.

> Please send questions/comments if you have them. Hope to see many of
> you at the CCWG meeting and Board meeting tomorrow.

> Remarks to the community and Board:

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.
