BACKGROUND
On 14th March 2014, the U.S. Government announced its intent to transition its stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community:
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-... .
Following this announcement, ICANN, was tasked with facilitating the development of a global, and representative proposal based on the following principles:
1. Support and enhance the multistakeholder model;
2. Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS;
3. Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services;
4. Maintain the openness of the Internet.
5. The proposal must not replace the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution.
The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) was formed in July 2014 (https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship), and tasked with assembling and delivering a proposal to NTIA through the ICANN Board. The ICG constituted three special interest groups representing the Domain Names community (NRO members), Numbering Resources community (CWG), and the Protocol Parameters community (IETF),
ICG shall compile the proposals from the three communities into a single proposal which the ICG shall submit to the board for review, and the board shall forward the final proposal to NTIA.
The three communities affected by IANA functions, IETF (handling protocol parameters), Numbering community - CRISP Team (under the umbrella of NRO), and Domain Names community (Cross Community Working Group) have released proposals on how the IANA transition should be handles.
Number resource process and proposal can be found here:
