[IANAxfer@apnic] Updated IANA stewardship transition process

[Tony Smith <tony@apnic.net>]

Hi everyone

You may have seen that ICANN has released the updated process to develop
the proposal to transition the oversight of IANA from the US Government.
This follows the comments submitted by the Internet community (including
the NRO).

The updated process, with an explanation of the changes made from the
original process proposed by ICANN, is available here:

https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en

With the process in place, the next face-to-face discussions between the
Internet community will take place in London at ICANN 50 in just under two
weeks time.  It is expected the discussions will now turn to the more
substantial task of developing a proposal to transition the stewardship of
IANA from the NTIA.

More information on the ICANN 50 agenda is available here, and the
relevant sessions relating to IANA will be webcast for those who cannot
participate in-person:

Thanks
Tony
