US Government Announcement about transfer IANA functions stewardship

[Amr Elsadr]

I agree too. Personally, I really like the submission by Milton and Brenden. I wouldn’t mind NCSG endorsing it, or at least developing a statement based on the four principles outlined in it. If anyone hasn’t read the submission and is interested to do so, check it out here: Roadmap for globalizing IANA: Four principles and a proposal for reform.

Thanks.
