Transition-In State. Transition-In describes real, widely visible changes to the behavior of the Internet’s system of unique identifiers. Transition-In is triggered by the order of the Event Director. The Event Director will be advised by ICANN SSR, Compliance, technical liaison, Registrar and Registry Engagement teams, and the EBERO as to the readiness of the zone for transition. Once authorization to proceed is given, the processes should proceed to stable operation without blocking decision points.
