Hello Milton,

I think it was clearly stated that they are inter-related and i don't think there is any need to request discussing relationships at this time. What is think is more important is for the accountability process to pass through the community process. I propose the following edit.

On May 7 ICANN announced a separate process to enhance ICANN accountability. [1] However, we will like to note that the outcome of the ICANN accountability will highly determine/improve on the outcome of the IANA transitioning process. It is therefore important that the ICANN accountability outcome is developed by the community in a transparent and inclusive manner.

Kind Regards

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:
