[ncc-announce] [news] ICANN Sessions on Accountability and IANA Oversight Transition

Dear colleagues, 

The ICANN 50 meeting is currently taking place in London, and two sessions scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, 25 June, are of specific relevance to the RIPE community. There are remote participation options available so that those not in London can contribute to these discussions. 

These sessions look at how to improve the accountability of ICANN, and a discussion on transitioning the NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions. 

These sessions represent an important milestone in the ongoing global process to develop a plan for transition of the NTIA’s oversight function to the multi-stakeholder community. As a key stakeholder in ICANN and IANA, it is important that the RIPE community has its voice heard in these discussions. 

The times for the sessions are:

- Enhancing ICANN Accountability 10:30-12:30 (UTC+1)
- Transition of NTIA’s Stewardship of the IANA Functions 13:30-15:30 (UTC+1)
