IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG)
I was nominated by Country Code Names Supporting Organisation (ccNSO) Mid July as one of the 4 representatives of the ccNSO Community on the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG). A call was made for nomination and I applied. A nominating committee process was instituted by the ccNSO who selected 4 candidates from the several applications received. I represent the Country Code Top level Domains (ccTLDs) in the African region.
I will be working with this group until the proposal is submitted to the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) by May 2015. The first face-to-face (f2f) meeting was held in London 17-18 July, 2014. In this first meeting, the ICG developed a proposed charter and scope for its future work in support on the community's development of a proposal on the IANA functions stewardship transition. I will keep you all updated as the task progresses and solicit your input and suggestions to help us succeed in the assignment.
Other Committees on the IANA Transition would be established by ICANN. There is the Enhancing ICANN Accountability Committee which would soon be constituted. I will encourage DNS Industry stakeholders to participate in this process. See the update at:
