We have amended the NCSG statement on the IANA transition to reflect ICANN’s announcement today.

We have replaced the following language:

Recent comments by ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé suggest that a distinct process to develop a proposal to improve accountability of ICANN will be launched. However, at this time no process has been announced by ICANN, nor has the relationship of that process to the IANA transition process been clarified.

With:

On May 7 ICANN announced a separate process to enhance ICANN accountability. [1]  However, the relationship of that process to the IANA transition must be clarified and agreed upon by stakeholders.
