Also at ICANN 50, the GAC made it known that they would prefer to have five seats on the Coordination Group (ICG), one for each ICANN region, rather than two. The GAC subsequently submitted five names for the ICG. In the lead-up to the first in-person meeting of the ICG, the group decided in a preliminary call that the topic of expanding GAC representation, as well as a more general discussion regarding whether the composition of the ICG was fit for purpose, would be added to the agenda of the first meeting.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/transcript-stewardship-coordination-10jul14-en.pdf ICANN.org Archive - Transcript - ICG Call #1], July 10, 2014</ref>

==IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG)==
The ICG held its first meeting in London on July 17 and 18, 2014.<ref name="icgmtgs">[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/icg-archives-2014-07-31-en ICANN.org Archive - ICG Meetings Archive], last updated March 1, 2016</ref> During the introductory session of the meeting, [[Heather Dryden]] explained the GAC's reasoning for submitting five nominees to the ICG:
<blockquote>The five nominees that the GAC has identified or put forward to participate are dformed within the GAC as what we are calling a content group. So that's also including the vice chairs in addition to those nominees. And the idea is so the vice chairs and the nominees support the chair of the GAC and to coordinate communication to and from the broader GAC membership. The emphasis here is not on advancing individual country perspectives.<ref name="london1">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/transcript-coordination-group-17jul14-en.pdf ICANN Archive - Transcript, ICG Meeting #1 (Day 1)], July 17, 2014</ref></blockquote>
During discussions at the first day of the meeting, it was agreed that the CG would welcome all five of the GAC appointees, bringing the grand total of seats to 30.<ref name="london1" />
