Thanks, Bruce.  I see from a subsequent announcement from Steve that the Board 
adopted the new bylaws.

New ICANN Bylaws

Today, on behalf of the ICANN Board, I am pleased to announce the 
adoption<http://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-05-27-en>
 of the new ICANN 
Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/adopted-bylaws-27may16-en.pdf>,
 which reflect changes made as a result of the IANA Stewardship Transition 
package of proposals<https://www.icann.org/stewardship-accountability>. The new 
Bylaws are the result of hundreds of hours of work by the community and the 
legal teams. The Regional Internet Registries Service Level Agreement and 
Internet Engineering Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Supplemental 
Agreement have also been approved for signing and will go into effect after the 
transition.

Later today, ICANN will be transmitting the new Bylaws to the U.S. Department 
of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA). NTIA has previously stated that adoption of the new Bylaws is required 
for them to complete their review of the proposals, which is expected to occur 
in June.

This is an important milestone for ICANN and the community. As we await the 
release of NTIA's report, we continue to prepare for implementation of the 
transition proposals. We thank everyone for their continued hard work and 
support during this transition process.
