Phase 5Board UpdateThis item has been processed as much as is relevant and is considered complete; no work is outstanding from the perspective of Board Advice (note that related implementation work may have been integrated into ICANN’s ongoing operations or other initiatives). Status provided in 19 October 2016 letter from ICANN Board Chair to SSAC Chair (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/crocker-to-faltstrom-19oct16-en.pdf). In March 2015, the NTIA requested ICANN and Verisign to work together to develop a proposal for transitioning the NTIA's administrative role associated with root zone management. A proposal was submitted in August 2015, and Root Zone Maintainer Agreement was published for public comment on 29 June 2016 (see announcement here: https://www.icann.org/news/blog/root-zone-managementtransition-update-preservation-of-security-stability-andresiliency) and was approved by the Board on 9 August 2016 (https://www.icann.org/resources/boardmaterial/resolutions-2016-08-09-en#2.c).
