> Dear SO/AC/SG Leaders:
> 
> In light of our recent conversations about this announcement,  might it be appropriate for a short joint SO/AC/SG leaders'  statement welcoming the US Government's announcement of the suggested changes related to the IANA functions contract.
> 
> Such a statement  could be an impressive demonstration of ICANN's  multistakeholder Community working together and willing to be involved in next steps.   This document could be shared in Singapore, maybe at the Monday session.
> 
> An example might be found in the statement by the  "Internet Technical Leaders Welcome IANA Globalization Progress"  - attached.
> 
> Please let me know if there would be any support for drafting  such a statement.  I would be ready to assist you in this task, if needed.
