<p class="MsoNormal">Dear EC members<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have learned this evening that the IANA
transition will not be blocked by the US Congress.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an immediate measure, I’d like for the
NCUC EC to send the statement below to the ICANN board. I have
copied our GNSO Councilors on this because I think they could
help push this agenda.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The words below may not be perfect but
please let’s not get mired in word-smithing, we need to get
this statement out quickly. If there are any significant
errors or omissions fix them and send an amended version right
out, otherwise just express your support (or lack of it). <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Noncommercial Users Constituency (NCUC)
Executive Committee (EC) was gratified to hear that the IANA
transition will not be blocked by the U.S. Congress. We
congratulate the board and the entire multistakeholder
community on this news. Now that the contract with NTIA is
sure to expire on September 30, the NCUC EC asks that the
ICANN board immediately file and execute any and all
procedures needed to implement the new bylaws, which put into
place critical accountability reforms. We see quick action on
this matter as a confidence-building measure and a signal of
good faith to the global stakeholder community. We see delay
any in taking those steps as raising risks to the successful
completion of the transition. We hope the board and ICANN’s
legal staff share these concerns and act accordingly. <o:p></o:p></p>
