Dear all,



Per the Board resolution earlier today, the Articles of Incorporation are
now up for public comment:
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-restated-articles-incorporation-2016-05-27-en.



Brief Overview

*Purpose:* This Public Comment period seeks community input on the Draft
Restated Articles of Incorporation developed to reflect the recommendations
contained in the proposals by the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination
Group (ICG) and Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
(CCWG-Accountability) as provided to the ICANN Board on 10 March 2016 and
transmitted to NTIA. (See Resolutions 2016.03.10.12-15
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-03-10-en#2.b>
 and 2016.03.10.16-19
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-03-10-en#2.c>
)

*Current Status:* The proposed draft of the Restated Articles of
Incorporation was developed collaboratively by the ICANN legal team and the
independent counsel hired to advise the CCWG-Accountability and the Cross
Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal
on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship). Both the independent counsel
to the community groups and ICANN's General Counsel agree that the draft
Restated Articles are consistent with the community proposals relating to
the IANA Stewardship Transition.

*Next Steps:* Any interested party may review and provide feedback on the
draft Restated Articles during the public comment period. The comments will
be analyzed and incorporated for the ICANN Board prior to its consideration
of the adoption of the Restated Articles. Restated Articles must be adopted
as part of the implementation planning process. Once adopted, the Restated
Articles are expected to filed and go into effect in the event NTIA approves
of the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal and the IANA Functions Contract
expires.
