I am sorry if I was unclear. This is indeed very important, and, yes, as you point out there are multiple aspects, both the process and the scope. The process is here: http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/transition/draft-proposal-08apr14-en.htm And the scope here: http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/iana-transition-scoping-08apr14-en.pdf I expect the IAB and its IANA program to lead the preparation of response(s), but nevertheless, community discussion of the topic would be very helpful as well.
