[PC-NCSG] Joint SO/AC/SG Leaders' Statement on the IANA Globalization Progress?

[William Drake]

Hi

I think Amr?s right about the thinking behind "transition key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community.?  

Insofar as this statement could be read as at odds with the one being pushed within NCSG, I?m not clear how we could endorse both.  In any event, you might want to hold of and see how things evolve rather than rush; the world doesn?t need to hear from us before anyone else.  Different groups in the SO/AC are proposing amendments and the text is not stable.

Bill
