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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">nd</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333"> draft
