| 5 | ICANN should examine how best to ensure that end-users remain at the heart of the accountability process in all aspects pertaining to the transition of stewardship of the IANA function. | ICANN Board; ICANN Staff; ICANN Community | TG1 |

Notes:
- Could feed into ICANN accountability process and the work of At-Large IANA issues WG.
- :
- It is a very important recommendation. Are we pushing enough to strengthen the position of the end users (this concerns the question of civil society and the role of ALAC/At-Large)? It seems that we haven't pushed CCWG-Accountability to fully address those questions and consider the position of end users.
- :
- The ALAC/At-Large have been doing that (advocating for end users) to balance the power of other interest parties. We are not in the position to say that the end user rights are more important than others.
- Should the ALAC advocate that the end users' concerns trump other concerns? Yes, in some cases, users should take dominance; but others not. The needs of users may not be so much different from the needs of other parties. E.g. IANA stewardship transition, it is almost 100% overlap between the interests of registries and the interests of users, in terms of the operational aspect of IANA functions.
- The ALAC/At-Large has always been thinking about user interests and continued to do so. It has been done.
