>The ICANN At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) wishes to express its 
>pleasure that following two years of concerted effort, the IANA 
>Stewardship Transition Coordination Group's (ICG) Proposal to 
>Transition the Stewardship of IANA Functions from the U.S. Commerce 
>Department's National Telecommunications and Information 
>Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multistakeholder Community 
>coupled with the Proposal to improve ICANN Accountability have been 
>delivered to the NTIA.
>
>The ALAC has been an integral part of the groups developing the 
>plans for the transition of the IANA Domain Names functions and for 
>improving ICANN Accountability. It is clear that the effort is not 
>yet complete, as the implementation of these plans is still ahead of 
>us. Accordingly, the ALAC commits to continue to put all necessary 
>resources into ensuring that the accountability implementation can 
>be done in a timely manner honoring the plans crafted by the 
>multistakeholder community. In the event that the U.S. Department of 
>Commerce accepts the IANA transition proposal, the ALAC similarly 
>commits work diligently to see the transition implemented.
