The working group has supported its two representatives on the IANA Coordinating Group via its mailing list and through weekly conference calls.
ICG Achievements:
December 2015
A year has gone by without updates of the monthly reports for this working group due to several factors:
- three very active parallel processes that are already well documented. Latest updates on each process can be found in their Web pages:
- A very sustained, weekly call schedule for this working group: At-Large Ad-hoc WG on IANA Transition & ICANN Accountability
As a result, with little spare time to update this space, the best way was to follow the information linked from each of the weekly At-Large IANA Issues & ICANN Accountability calls.
These are all reference from this working group's home page at: At-Large Ad-hoc WG on IANA Transition & ICANN Accountability
Status in December 2015
CWG IANA has drafted its proposal and proposed it for sending to NTIA: Final Proposal for Chartering Organizations' Consideration (11 June)
It is currently pending proposal from CCWG Accountability.
CCWG Accountability has a proposal open for Public Comment: At-Large CCWG-Accountability - Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations Workspace
At this stage, with timelines often changing, it is expected that the comment period closes on 21 December and ratification takes place in early January 2016.
