Following the request of the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S Department of Commerce, for
ICANN to "convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to
transition the U.S. government stewardship role" with regard to the IANA
Functions and related root zone management, a Cross Community Working
Group (CWG-Stewardship) was formed with the purpose of developing a
consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions
relating to domain names.

The CWG-Stewardship held briefing webinars on the first draft proposal
on 3-4 December 2014, and subsequently received nearly 60 public
comments. Following the close of the public comment period, the
CWG-Stewardship reviewed the comments and continued to work at an
intense pace to prepare its transition proposal, through more than 30
teleconferences, a working session at ICANN 52 in Singapore in February,
a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul in March and, most recently, during a
two-day meeting block with over 12 hours of conferences to converge on
the 2nd draft proposal.

With the aim to submit its final proposal to the IANA Stewardship
Transition Coordination Group (ICG) by the close of ICANN 53 in June,
the CWG-Stewardship highlights the importance of broader community input
of their draft, for which the group has received independent legal
counsel for structural considerations and external expertise to bolster
operational sections.

The CWG-Stewardship will hold two identical webinars at different times
to facilitate participation across time zones. The webinars will take
place on:

  * *24 April from 06:00 – 07:30 UTC* (time zone converter here
