Thank you Rafik, 

Just to add to this, here is what NTIA said: "Prior to completing our review, we expect ICANN and the community to adopt all the necessary bylaw changes to implement the transition proposals."

Hi everyone,
I am sharing here the announcement about public comment period for the new ICANN bylaws challenges, which is part of the implementation for the accountability proposals. as you know the the accountability work is still ongoing starting with the so-called "workstream 2". it doesn't look like when you read the announcement, but this is another important step to implement accountability measures within ICANN.
hope that those from NCUC involved in the CCWG can give some background and explanations.
Best Regards,
Rafik

Draft New  ICANN  Bylaws Posted for 30-day Public Comment
Now that the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) and Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) proposals have been transmitted to NTIA, one of the key implementation planning items is to amend the ICANN Bylaws to reflect the recommendations in those Proposals. 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 Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (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.
Both the independent counsel to the community groups and ICANN's General Counsel have confirmed that the Draft New ICANN Bylaws are consistent with the community proposals relating to the IANA Stewardship Transition.
These proposed draft Bylaws, are out for a 30-day public comment from 21 April – 21 May to allow any interested party to review and provide feedback. This timeline allows for comments to be analyzed and incorporated in time for a tentative 27 May adoption of the Bylaws by the ICANN Board.
NTIA has stated that it needs to see that changes to the Bylaws have been adopted sufficient to implement the Transition Proposals before NTIA can complete its review of the Transition Proposals. This public comment period is designed to meet that deadline.
