[afnog] IANA transition process

[Alan Barrett]

I would like to remind everybody of the ongoing IANA transition 
process.

On 14 March 2014, the US Department of Commerce’s National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced 
the intention to transition the oversight of key Internet 
functions, including the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 
(IANA), to the global Internet multi-stakeholder community.  See 
<https://www.nro.net/nro-and-internet-governance/iana-oversight> 
for the NRO's summary of the process.

In the Afrinic region, a new "ianaoversight" 
mailing list was set up to discuss this.  See 
<https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ianaoversight> for 
links to the archives, and for information on how to subscribe.

There are also discussions in the "africann" mailing list.  See 
<https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann>.

Most recently, the NRO proposed to create a team with 
members from all RIRs to draft a coordinated proposal.  See
