[Internal-cg] Statement regarding transition

[Martin Boyle]

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

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.  (Incidentally, and I assume this is simply a language divide, applauding in UK English would be a slightly unusual reaction!  I might applaud a person or a team, but would welcome the successful result.)  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:  something like that)

Alissa,

Thanks for the draft text - I agree with all of the others that have said that it is fine.

WRT what Joe mentioned, I recall the discussion but also agree with your statement, i.e., the statement is better without it.

I think that is certainly possible given that the communities can propose that of their own will in the future if they want to. I don't see a need to mention it in the statement, though.

Looks fine to me as well.  My only question was that at one time we had left open the option of being reconvened by the communities if they needed a forum like ours to help consider any implementation issues.  I'm fine to leave it out, but just recalled this thought and wanted to mention it.

Subject: [Internal-cg] Statement regarding transition

Hi all,

I'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.

You'll note the final paragraph says the following:

"With the expiration of the IANA functions contract, the ICG's work is complete and the ICG will formally conclude its existence as a group. The ICG web site will remain archived at ianacg.org<http://ianacg.org/> for future reference."

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.

Thanks,
Alissa
