[council] NTIA announcement - please join the call

[Glen de Saint Géry <Glen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please note the  invitation from Fadi Chehadé and please distribute to all your 
members.
You are invited to join Board Chair Steve Crocker and me on a brief community 
call to discuss today¹s announcement that stewardship of the Internet technical 
functions will transfer from the U.S. government to the Internet¹s global 
multistakeholder community. ICANN¹s role in managing these functions and the 
Domain Name System will not change.
This call is just the beginning of a community-wide dialogue about the 
development of the transitional process. In the coming months, we will rely 
heavily on you, our community members, to determine the best way to achieve 
this long-awaited goal.
I look forward to speaking with you soon, and in the future, on this important 
and exciting development. And please note, we had planned to talk to you about 
this on Sunday, but unfortunately the NTIA had to move their announcement up to 
today as it was leaked to the media.
