In Brief

The organizations that have adopted the charter for the Cross Community
Working Group (CWG) to develop an Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions call for
observers to join this effort. The primary goal of the CWG is to produce a
consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions
relating to the Domain NameSystem.
Participating as observer

Participation in the CWG is open to members and observers. In addition to
members, who are appointed by the chartering organizations, anyone
interested in the work of the CWG, can join as an observer. Observers are
expected to actively participate and attend all meetings. The only
difference between a member and an observer is that any consensus calls or
formal decisions that may need to be made will be limited to CWG members
appointed by the chartering organizations. However, this does not take away
that it is the expectation that the CWG will operate as much as possible
with the views and consensus support of all participants in mind as the
importance of considering all input and views on this important topic is
recognized. Observers may be from a chartering organization, from a
stakeholder group or organization not represented in the CWG or currently
active within ICANN, or self-appointed.
How to join

If you are interested in joining, please contact Grace Abuhamad (
grace.abuhamad at icann.org), or the secretariats of your Supporting
Organization or Advisory Committee. All participants (members and
observers) will be listed on the CWG's webpage. All observers are also
required to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) following the procedures
of their chartering organization, or where that is not applicable for
observers, the GNSO Procedures should be followed (see
https://community.icann.org/x/cYLg).
Next steps

The CWG is currently in formation. To date, the At-Large Advisory Committee
(ALAC), the Country Code Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names
Supporting Organization (GNSO) and the Security and Stability Advisory
Committee (SSAC) have adopted the charter, and are in the process of
appointing members. *The CWG will have its first meeting
<https://community.icann.org/x/6grxAg> (via teleconference) on 6 October at
13.00 UTC, followed by a F2F meeting in Los Angeles during
the ICANN meeting
<http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-iana-stewardship-naming> (scheduled
for Monday 13 October from 12.15 – 13.45 local time (19.15 – 22.45 UTC),
with remote participation). Both sessions will be recorded and transcribed.*
Background

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has
requested that ICANN"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. In making its announcement, the NTIA
specified
that the transition proposal must have broad community support and meet the
following principles:

   - Support and enhance the multistakeholder model
   - Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS
   - Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of
   the IANA services
   - Maintain the openness of the Internet.

NTIA also specified that it would not accept a proposal that replaces the
NTIA role with a government-led or an intergovernmental organization
solution.

On June 6 ICANN proposed the creation of an IANA Stewardship Transition
Coordination Group (ICG) "responsible for preparing a transition proposal
reflecting the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA
 functions."

It was determined that Stewardship Transition proposals for each of
the IANA functions
should be developed by the directly affected communities, the IETF and IAB
 for IANA functions related to InternetProtocol Parameters; the NRO, the ASO,
and the RIRs for functions related the management and distribution of
numbering resources; and the GNSO and ccNSO for functions related to the Domain
NameSystem. These efforts will inform the work of the ICG, whose
responsibility is to develop an overall integrated transition proposal from
these autonomously developed components.

Two of IANA's global directly affected communities, the addressing and
Internet protocol parameter communities, have responded to the NTIA's
announcement and the formation of the ICG, by establishing working groups
to provide input on their specific needs and expectations with respect to
the IANAStewardship Transition.

This CWG was formed as an integral part of this transition process, and to
develop a proposal for the elements of the IANA Stewardship Transition that
directly affect the naming community.
