The public comment period for the ICG proposal documents opened on July 31, 2015. The ICG posted the call for public comment on their website, ianacg.org<ref>ianacg.org is a WordPress installation that appears to be missing a needed plug-in as of July 2021.

The public comment period for the ICG proposal documents opened on July 31, 2015. The ICG posted the call for public comment on their website, ianacg.org<ref>ianacg.org is a WordPress installation that appears to be missing a needed plug-in as of July 2021. Files stored on the site are still accessible, and interested readers can find an archived version of the site from December 2020 on the Internet Archive's [https://web.archive.org/web/20201201013454/https://www.ianacg.org/ Wayback Machine]</ref>. The combined proposal received 157 comments.<ref name="combopc">[https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/Public-Comment-Summary-final.pdf ICG Archive - Summary of Public Comments (PDF)]</ref> Public comments were largely positive - the ICG characterized nearly two-thirds of the comments received as "supportive" or expressing "qualified support."<ref name="combopc" /> Because 15% of the comments were designated as "position unclear or not specific" to the proposal, approximately 75% of the salient comments were supportive or expressed qualified support.
The ICG identified six major themes in the objections to the proposal:
* Objections related to the relinquishment of, or transfer of jurisdiction over the NTIA's stewardship role;
* Concerns about the appropriateness and operational readiness of the [[PTI]];
* Concerns regarding [[root zone management]] (RZM) issues;
* The impact of dependencies on the overall proposal;
* Issues connected with the administration of ccTLDs; and
* Compatibility and interoperability of the proposals as combined.
Issues raised in comments were catalogued and examined by teams of ICG members. Issues were dealt with in one of three ways:
* In cases where an issue was already agreed but was still unclear to the community, the issue was added to the executive summary or the ICG's FAQ so that the description of the issue, deliberations, and resolution were more readily accessible and plain;
* In cases where an issue required review, it was forwarded to the relevant operating community for evaluation and discussion. Operating communities responded with information and revisions for either the executive summary of the proposal, or for inclusion in that OC's transition proposal;
* In cases where the issue raised was a fundamental issue (for example, opposition to the transition in general) or had been discussed, investigated, and settled to the satisfaction of the relevant operating committee, no further action was taken, except that in some circumstances the issue was forwarded to relevant OC for their own evaluation.

===GAO Report on Evaluation of Transition Proposal===
In September 2015, the GAO publicly released GAO-15-642, "Structured Evaluation Could Help Assess Proposed Transition of Key Domain Name and Other Technical Functions."<ref name="gao">[https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-15-642 GAO.gov - GAO-15-642], published August 19, 2015; publicly released September 18, 2015</ref> The report was focused on the IANA Transition and the NTIA's role of evaluating and approving the combined transition proposal. In the course of its study, the GAO reviewed documents regarding from ICANN, the ICG, and the working groups devoted to aspects of the transition, interviewed representatives of ten stakeholder federal agencies and thirty-one non-federal agency stakeholders, and interviewed technical experts, including ICANN staff.<ref name="gao" /> The report concluded that NTIA should review relevant evaluation frameworks, such as ISO quality management principles, and adopt or adapt elements of those frameworks in its review of the IANA transition proposal.<ref name="gao" /> The GAO found broad support for the transition during its interview process.<ref name="gao" /> Upon receipt of the report, the Department of Commerce concurred with the recommendation and confirmed that "[a]s part of its evaluation, NTIA will use relevant frameworks suggested by the U.S. GAO to guide its assessment of the final proposal against core goals."<ref name="gao" />
