<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem;
font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">Following the
request of the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S Department of
Commerce, for ICANN to "convene a multistakeholder process to
develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship
role" with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone
management, a Cross Community Working Group (CWG-Stewardship)
was formed with the purpose of developing a consolidated
transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions
relating to domain names.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem;
font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">The CWG-Stewardship
held briefing webinars on the first draft proposal on 3-4
December 2014, and subsequently received nearly 60 public
comments. Following the close of the public comment period,
the CWG-Stewardship reviewed the comments and continued to
work at an intense pace to prepare its transition proposal,
through more than 30 teleconferences, a working session at
ICANN 52 in Singapore in February, a face-to-face meeting in
Istanbul in March and, most recently, during a two-day meeting
block with over 12 hours of conferences to converge on the 2<span
style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 12px; line-height:
0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top:
-0.5em;">nd</span> draft proposal.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem;
font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">With the aim to
submit its final proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition
Coordination Group (ICG) by the close of ICANN 53 in June, the
CWG-Stewardship highlights the importance of broader community
input of their draft, for which the group has received
independent legal counsel for structural considerations and
external expertise to bolster operational sections.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4rem;
font-size: 1rem; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem;">The CWG-Stewardship
will hold two identical webinars at different times to
facilitate participation across time zones. The webinars will
