Since the 14 March 2014 announcement by the U.S. National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) regarding the transition from the US Government to the global multistakeholder community, the Internet community has been working hard to produce by 30 September 2015 a proposal to transition the stewardship role over IANA functions currently played by the NTIA.

Key participants in the process to develop a proposal for transitioning to the global multistakeholder community stewardship of the IANA functions for Internet domain names, numbers, and protocol parameters will provide an update on the process and progress so far during a webinar open to everyone.
