On 14 March 2014, the NTIA announced its intention to transition its stewardship role of IANA functions, and called upon ICANN to launch and facilitate a process with the community to derive a proposal to transition stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community, meeting the criteria set out by the NTIA.
Following community dialogue, the process for developing a proposal for this transition was posted on 6 June 2014. As a part of this process, an IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) will be responsible for preparing a transitional proposal respective of the differing needs of the various affected parties of the IANA functions.

The meeting was streamed live in seven languages and participation was available through a Virtual Meeting Room. Transcripts of these recordings are available at the resources link below.

In addition, the community is encouraged to join the conversation through use of the online discussion forum or ICANN's dedicated IANA Transition mailing list to discuss the transition process.
