the request of the National Telecommunications and

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

CWG-Stewardship held briefing webinars on the first draft

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
