Today at ICANN 49 in Singapore, process to develop an Internet community plan was launched. Since the announcement by NTA just over a week ago, discussions have been taking place in many hallways and mail lists. Input from the all of the community discussions needs to be gathered, and ICANN has provided a mail list for this purpose: [email protected]. An archive is available so that everyone can see the collection of prior postings to the list: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ianatransition/.
The goal is to gather the input by 27 March 2014, and then combine the output of the mail list discussion and the discussions happening at ICANN 49, proposing a timeline and specific next steps by for public comment and community feedback on 7 April 2014. Please contribute.
