we disagree about the best way to handle ICANN/IANA accountability, your updated statement at least takes a reform-oriented, progressive perspective on the transition and makes a coherent agument for its approach.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">In March 2014, the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) made an historic announcement of its “intent to transition key internet domain
name functions to the global multistakeholder community.” This development has triggered a process to identify a new system to replace NTIA’s “historic steward” of the DNS (internet domain name system), which has been cause for concern and debate among governments
and other stakeholders for more than a decade.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">We applaud the progress made in establishing the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG). We remain concerned about the accountability of ICANN and look forward to a genuine process of review
and improvement by ICANN of its accountability to the global community. We are concerned that the ICG is focusing too much on the individual operational communities and not paying attention to any cross cutting IANA transition issues. While improvements in
ICANN accountability are necessary, the goals of separation of policy and operation responsibility mean that IANA accountability needs to be dealt with as a separate issue by the ICG.</span><br>

Thanks so much for the heads up on this! <br>
<br>
We quoted from the original submission on this by Avri - made to NETmundial online - which we supported. We should have udpated it. You are quite right in raising concerns.<br>
<br>
We are working right now with Avri to update that part of the document to reflect recent discussions. We will change the online version.<br>
