2. IANA Stewardship Transition High-level Overview

3. The U.S. Government’s Announcement
14 March 2014: U.S. Government announces intent to transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community
The U.S. Government’s announcement:
Marked the final phase of the privatization of the DNS
Further supports and enhances the multistakeholder model of Internet policy making and governance
ICANN was asked to serve as a facilitator, based on its role as the IANA functions administrator and global coordinator for the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS)
Why
now?
30 September 2016: After more than 2 years of work by the ICANN multistakeholder community, the IANA stewardship transition was completed.

4. Parallel processes The community developed two parallel processes:
IANA Stewardship Transition Focused on delivering a proposal to transition the stewardship of the IANA functions to the multistakeholder community
Enhancing ICANN Accountability
Focused on ensuring that ICANN remains accountable in the absence of its historical contractual relationship with the U.S. Government

5. The IANA Stewardship Transition: ICG
The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) was formed in July to assemble and deliver a proposal to NTIA through the ICANN Board
The ICG was made up of 30 individuals representing 13 communities of both direct and indirect stakeholders of the IANA functions
The ICG’s responsibilities included:
Acting as a liaison to all interested parties, including the three operational communities of the IANA functions
Assessing the outputs of
the three operational
communities for compatibility and interoperability
Assembling a complete proposal for the transition
Information sharing and public communication
