Dear Colleagues,

In anticipation of our call, I want to share two items of relevance for the contingency discussion.

1) Questions for "repurposed" WA4

In Frankfurt we agreed to further investigate on the contingency list by providing answers to several questions on each contingency. There was discussion about the phrasing of the questions. Below is a proposal attempting to merge the Charter deliverable questions with our discussion :

How relevant is the threat to the transition of the IANA stewardship ? ie how does the transition affect the likelihood of the threat, or the severeness of the consequences ?
Are there existing remedies in place ? Are these remedies robust ?
Could addressing the contingency be achieved through amending existing accountability mechanisms or is creating new ones necessary ?

2) Input from the Board Risk Committee

You may remember we had requested communication from the Board Risk Committee regarding the list of contingencies that they consider in the course of their mission, which includes overseeing Icann's risk management framework.

Thanks to Bruce Tonkin, our Board Liaison, as well as the members of this Committee, we have now received communication of this list. I have attached the document.

Our group should now be able to check whether the list contains contingencies we should add.

Looking forward to discussing this on our upcoming call.

Best regards,
Mathieu Weill
