Following the request of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S Department of Commerce, for ICANN to "convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role"
 with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management, a Cross Community Working Group (CWG-Stewardship) was formed with the purpose of developing a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to domain names.</p><p style="line-height:1.4rem;font-size:1rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
The CWG-Stewardship held briefing webinars on the first draft proposal on 3-4 December 2014, and subsequently received nearly 60 public comments. Following the close of the public comment period, the CWG-Stewardship reviewed the comments and continued to work
 at an intense pace to prepare its transition proposal, through more than 30 teleconferences, a working session at ICANN 52 in Singapore in February, a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul in March and, most recently, during a two-day meeting block with over 12
 hours of conferences to converge on the 2<span style="font-size:12px;line-height:0;vertical-align:baseline">nd</span> draft proposal.</p><p style="line-height:1.4rem;font-size:1rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
With the aim to submit its final proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) by the close of ICANN 53 in June, the CWG-Stewardship highlights the importance of broader community input of their draft, for which the group has received
 independent legal counsel for structural considerations and external expertise to bolster operational sections.</p><p style="line-height:1.4rem;font-size:1rem;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem">
