Overview of discussions Agenda Recap on the role of the NTIA, transition discussions process and overall timeline Discuss the IANA Stewardship transition from different perspectives such as the number resources, domain names, operator Discuss future steps – implementation of the numbers proposal by RIRs Major discussion points Status of the names community, ICANN accountability Implication if we do not meet the target date More outreach in balance with moving the process 4

Future Step from RIR community perspective Start consideration for implementation RIRs will consider implementation, in consultation with the community Develop SLA Text, details of the Review Committee For SLA Text to be developed based on the principles listed on the numbers proposal and NTIA requirements RIRs to work with ICANN, consulting RIR communities at RIR meetings and online 5

Confirmation with the community Question raised by APNIC at the session in preparation of SLA How much flexibilities can be accommodated from the numbers proposal in the course of discussions with other entities/communities? ICANN, NTIA, ICG and other operational communities? Key points: Termination, jurisdiction Way forward RIRs to develop the SLA text based on the principles listed on the numbers proposal The CRISP proposal gives clear guidance There has been no official feedback on our proposal related to SLA text from ICANN, NTIA, nor ICG If ICANN, NTIA or ICG have comments on conditions of the SLA, we expect them to be communicated openly to the numbers community We can then confirm whether there are any rooms for flexibilities, depending on the rationale and impact on stability and service level of the IANA function, maintaining accountability of ICANN, etc 6

Next Step RIRs to develop SLA text based on the numbers proposal The status of preparation/SLA text are to be updated in coming RIR meetings (AFRINIC, ARIN, LACNIC, RIPE) Building on from the confirmation at APNIC39 If any feedback is given from ICANN, NTIA, ICG, we expect to be discussed openly with the community As APNIC community Key updates/consultation are to be made on mailing listianaxfer[at]nro.net We can join discussions at other RIR meetings physically/remotely 7
