<div>As one of the people on the CWG I suppose I’ll put myself out there for any assistance needed.</div>
<div>Happy to answer any questions on some of the technical side of the proposal or anything that I feel I can give an educated response to.</div>

<p dir="ltr">Hi.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is definitely a report we have to comment in this critical process. We need volunteer(s) to coordinate taking inputs and comments from members. Everyone is encouraged to read the report and check the recording of webinar held next week, to get
an idea about the content .we will continue the discussion in the list and also ad-hoc calls.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The CWG is suggesting a template for the comment <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-stewardship-input-template-doc-22apr15-en.doc">
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-stewardship-input-template-doc-22apr15-en.doc</a> and we should follow it.
<br>
People can volunteer to cover part(s) or area(s) in the report and focus on. The coordinator will consolidate all the comments in one place e.g. etherpad . We need to review that draft later to get it approved and/or edited, and the submitted．</p>
<p dir="ltr">We have several active members in the CWG who can give guidance and support but we need others to participate and share the workload . We have ongoing discussion in this thread and it ia already a good starter. Please volunteer, we have to make
it! </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="14ce6cad3583d0df__MailEndCompose"><span style="color:#1f497d">The domain names part of the IANA transition is finally being formed. A draft proposal was released yesterday and it is open for public comment.
<u></u><u></u></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">In my view, t</span><span style="color:#1f497d">his is a big win for accountability. By legally separating the IANA functions operator from ICANN, it will be easier to hold ICANN’s board and staff accountable
for the policy making process, and easier to hold the post-transition IANA accountable for its performance of the IANA functions. Lines of responsibility will be more direct, and policy more clearly separated from implementation. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">The proposal also promotes accountability by creating a periodic review process that could allow the names community to “fire” the existing IANA if there was great dissatisfaction with its performance. This enhances
the accountability sought by the numbers and protocols communities as well as creating separability for the names community for the first time.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">The legal affiliate structure seems to have found the middle ground in the debate over ICANN’s role in the IANA functions. Although IANA will still be a subsidiary of ICANN, Inc., thus defusing any concerns about
creating new organizations, it will have a separate board and a clearer line of demarcation between the politics of ICANN the policy maker and the technical coordination functions provided by the IANA functions operator.</span><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
