This update marks the beginning of an initiative mentioned by Akram Atallah
in his 12 April 2016 blog, aimed at keeping interested stakeholders up to
date on the latest developments and progress relating to implementation
planning for the IANA Stewardship Transition, the proposal for which is
currently under review by NTIA.
These updates will detail what work has been identified based on the
proposals of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) and
the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
(CCWG-Accountability), and provide insight into what is happening on a
week-to-week basis.
Our goal is to provide consistent, structured updates that give any
interested party access to latest information, documents and announcements.
We will also post direct links to the mailing lists where conversations are
taking place on each of the planning elements.
ICANN has identified work that must be completed for the transition to occur
successfully.
The planned work has been mapped across 14 projects and grouped into 3
tracks. You can find more information on the ICANN website here
<https://www.icann.org/stewardship-implementation> .
- Trang Nguyen, Senior Director of Strategic Programs
 
Root Zone Management
The Root Zone Management implementation planning track contains projects
relating to changes to the Root ZoneManagement System (RZMS) to remove
NTIA's authorization role, parallel testing of the production and parallel
test RZMS systems; and the development, and execution of an agreement with
Verisign as the root zone maintainer.
 
Root Zone Management System (RZMS) Parallel Testing
Status update:
In accordance with the plan
<https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/root_zone_administrator_pr
oposal-relatedtoiana_functionsste-final.pdf>  submitted to NTIA, ICANN and
Verisign completed system code changes and began a 90-day ³parallel testing²
period on Wednesday, 6 April 2016. This is a key planning step to ensure the
continued security and stability of the Root Zone Management System (RZMS)
operation after the successful completion of the IANA Stewardship
Transition, currently projected for September 30, 2016.
It has been almost 3 weeks since the start of parallel testing and
everything is going smoothly. Click here to view Verisign¹s daily Parallel
Operations Root Zone Management System Comparisons
<http://www.verisign.com/rzms-parallel-ops/index.html>  reports of all the
root zone files generated.
In the event that no unexplained differences in root zone files are
identified between the production RZMS and the parallel test RZMS, the
testing period will end successfully on 5 July 2016.

Stewardship Transition
The Stewardship Transition planning track contains projects to prepare
relationship documentation with the operational communities, creation of a
Post-Transition IANA (PTI) entity, establishment of a Customer Standing
Committee (CSC) and a Root Zone Evolution Review Committee (RZERC),
operationalizing the IANA customer service escalation mechanisms and Service
Level Agreements (SLAs).
Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the IANA Numbering Services
Status update:
On Wednesday, 20 April 2016, the Number Resource Organization (NRO)
published an announcement
<https://www.nro.net/news/updated-5-1-and-signature-version-of-the-sla-for-t
he-iana-numbering-services> regarding version 5.1 of the SLA document.
The SLA will be submitted to the ICANN Board for consideration and adoption
when the NRO andICANN establish a mutually agreed upon date.

Post-Transition IANA (PTI)
Status update:
ICANN continues to work on the plan for PTI implementation that the
Implementation Oversight Task Force (IOTF) requested, as well as the
ICANN-PTI contract.
What is the IOTF? 
The IOTF was formed following ICANN55 in Marrakech. The IOTF offers a
channel for ICANN to request insights or clarifications to ensure that ICANN
and the community remain aligned on ICANN¹s implementation planning efforts
of the ICG Proposal. The group was formed to include the co-Chairs and
Design Team leads of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA
Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions
(CWG-Stewardship), and has since grown to also include representatives from
the ICG, Numbering Resources community and Protocol Parameters community.

Charter. A revised charter

Accountability Enhancements
The Accountability Enhancements track contains plans to implement
enhancements to ICANN¹s Independent Review and Reconsideration Request
processes, to update ICANN¹s governance documents, and to operationalize new
community powers defined by the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing
ICANNAccountability (CCWG-Accountability).
ICANN's Bylaws
Status update:
ICANN has posted proposed draft new Bylaws for a 30-day public comment from
21 April - 21 May 2016 to allow any interested party to review and provide
feedback.

<http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-draft-new-bylaws-21apr16/>
The proposed draft of the new ICANN Bylaws was developed collaboratively by
the ICANN legal team and the independent counsel hired to advise the
CCWG-Accountability and the CWG-Stewardship.
In developing the draft new ICANN Bylaws, the attorneys consulted a Bylaws
Coordination Group populated with both community and Board members, as well
as with the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability.
Adoption of the new Bylaws by the ICANN Board is anticipated for on or
around 27 May 2016. Once new ICANN Bylaws have been adopted, ICANN will
notify NTIA. Once adopted, the Bylaws are expected to go into effect if NTIA
approves of the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal and the IANA Functions
Contract expires.
