Vol. 2: Update on IANA Stewardship Discussions
Vol. 2: Update on IANA Stewardship Discussions https://www.icann.org/news/blog/vol-2-update-on-iana-stewardship-discussions ICANN is compiling bi-weekly updates on the community discussions and progress of theIANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN Accountability Processes. This information is positioned to help inform interested stakeholders in the recent developments in the processes, upcoming key dates, latest documents and drafts and a snapshot of any news coverage that occurs over the timeframe. In brief * The protocol parameters and numbers proposals submitted to the ICG in January 2015 have moved into Step 2 of the Proposal Assembly and Finalization Process <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-transition-assembly-finali zation-24dec14-en.pdf> [PDF, 92 KB]. * The work in the CWG-Stewardship and CCWG-Accountability have intensified, and both have activated a number of specialized teams focusing on specific issues. * CWG-Stewardship and CCWG-Accountability will hold face-to-face meetings in Istanbul at the end of March. * U.S. Senate Committees have questioned witnesses about the IANA Stewardship Transition and its implications for a variety of domestic and international issues. ICG * The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) is now using a website independent of ICANN: http://www.ianacg.org <http://www.ianacg.org/> . (Note that ICANN, as convener and facilitator of the IANA Stewardship Transition process, will continue to provide information on the transition, as well as the Enhancing ICANN Accountability process, on its website, https://www.icann.org <https://www.icann.org/> .) * The ICG is planning to hold a face-to-face meeting 18-19 June in Buenos Aires before ICANN 53 <https://buenosaires53.icann.org/> . If necessary, the ICG may also meet on the morning of 20 June. Timeline of work: * Following discussions at ICANN 52 <http://singapore52.icann.org/en/> in Singapore about the possibility of extending the ICG timeline for finalizing the IANA Stewardship Transition proposal, the ICG has decided to proceed as much as possible with the protocol parameters and numbers proposals and revisit the timeline <https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1c1efipctyvchu/TimelineDiscussion-v8.docx?dl=0> in the future once there is clearer information on how much work the names proposal requires of the ICG and the wider community. * With regard to the protocol parameters and numbers proposals, the ICG has moved forward into Step 2 of its Proposal Assembly and Finalization Process <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-transition-assembly-finali zation-24dec14-en.pdf> [PDF, 92 KB]. Step 2 examines the compatibility and interoperability, accountability, and workability of the submitted proposals. Additional output of the ICG: * At its 25 February teleconference <http://www.ianacg.org/coordination-group/icg-archives/> , in addition to the final consolidated proposal to be submitted to the ICANN Board for transmission to the NTIA <http://ntia.doc.gov/> , ICG members decided to also produce a report of the information it collects during its work to ensure the three components of the stewardship proposal – protocol parameters, numbers and names – are not in conflict. CWG-Stewardship * The pace of work in the Cross-Community Working Group to Develop an IANAStewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG+to+Develop+an+IAN A+Stewardship+Transition+Proposal+on+Naming+Related+Functions> ) is increasing as the CWG-Stewardship enters a new phase of work using "Design Teams." In addition, the CWG-Stewardship will hold a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/In-Person+Attendees> , 26-27 March 2015. As of 9 March, 18 CWG-Stewardship members and 15 participants have confirmed onsite attendance for the meeting. Updated draft proposal: * On 26 February, CWG-Stewardship published version 2 <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/49351404/CWG%20-%20Draft%2 0Transition%20Plan%20V2.0%20updated.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=142536748 6000&api=v2> [PDF, 232 KB] of the draft transition proposal, on which it will base its future updates. In particular, the work of the Design Teams is designed to fill in the remaining gaps in the proposal. The CWG-Stewardship is also working to refine its document, Draft of Principles and Criteria that Should Underpin Decisions on the Transition of NTIA Stewardship <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/49351404/Draft%20of%20Prin ciples_11%20December_clean.docx?version=1&modificationDate=1423050412000&api =v2> . The most recent version, sent to the CWG-Stewardship's mailing list for discussion, is dated 9 March 2015 <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/attachments/20150309/fb787018 /DraftofPrinciples-updated9March-0001.docx> , and is still a work in progress. A new way of working: * CWG-Stewardship has introduced a new way of working on the names proposal: small groups of CWG-Stewardship members are to form "Design Teams" that each work on a very specific issue related to the names proposal. The aim is for each Design Team to deliver the results of its work back to the CWG-Stewardship for its consideration and action within two weeks of the Design Team's creation. Approved Design Teams will maintain publicly archived mailing lists of their communications. As of 5 March, there were 11 proposed Design Teams <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/Design+Teams+List> . Legal counsel: * CWG-Stewardship's "Client Committee" has selected Sidley Austin LLP <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-March/002171.html> as legal counsel to the CWG-Stewardship. Sidley Austin will provide legal advice and consultation to the CWG-Stewardship as they develop their proposal. CCWG-Accountability * The work of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANNAccountability (CCWG-Accountability) continues to gather speed with the formation of three new Work Parties (see "New Work Parties underway" below). The CCWG-Accountability will meet face-to-face in Istanbul, 23-24 March 2015 <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/In+Person+Attendees> , just prior to the CWG-Stewardship's face-to-face meeting at the same location. * The expected outcome of the Istanbul meeting is broad consensus on the work stream 1 mechanisms CCWG-Accountability will propose for public comment, launch date of 6 April 2015. New Work Parties underway: * WP1, Community Empowerment <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/WP1+--+Community+Empowerm ent> , has developed drafts of a number of accountability mechanisms <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/WP1+Draft+Documents> based on a standardized template. Mechanisms under investigation include how to mitigate against ICANN or NTIA choosing to terminate the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC). The outcome of which would be ICANN no longer being held to its Affirmation Commitments, including the conduct of community reviews and required implementation of review team recommendations. * WP2, Review and Redress <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/WP2+--+Review+and+Redress > , held its first teleconference on 27 February 2015. It has created four specialized sub teams: Community Compact regarding ICANN Mission <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Compact+Mission> ,Office of Ombudsman <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Office+of+Ombudsman> , Request for Reconsideration <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Request+for+Reconsiderati on> , and Independent Review <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Independent+Review> . WP2 plans to have all current drafting work completed by 19 March 2015, in time for the CCWG-Accountability's Istanbul face-to-face meeting. * The Stress Test Work Party (ST-WP) <https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/ST-WP+--+Stress+Tests+Wor k+Party> will hold its first teleconference on 11 March 2015 <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52891298> . Its work has led on from one of the four original sub-groups of the CCWG-Accountability, on Identifying Contingencies <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=51413864> , and is using that original sub-group'smailing list <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccwg-accountability4/> to conduct its work. The latest version of the document that is the focus of ST-WP's activities, Using Stress Tests to evaluate existing & proposed accountability measures (v7) <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccwg-accountability4/attachments/20150307/ec8 f82ea/ApplyingStressTestsDraftv7-0001.docx> , was posted to the mailing list on 7 March 2015. Legal counsel: * The CCWG-Accountability's Legal Sub Team has been working on a draft document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/132V7P8nmyalhoso7zcevjW3_ox1laXn5JIEH3dD AF3A/edit?usp=sharing> outlining the issues it wishes to ask of legal counsel (see also "Legal counsel" in the CWG-Stewardship section above). The CCWG-Accountability hopes to use the same firm as chosen by CWG-Stewardship, but remains open to the possibility of choosing a different legal counsel if the CWG-Stewardship's choice proves not to be the most appropriate one for CCWG-Accountability. Updates on other transition-related activities US Senate hearings: * Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation * On 25 February, a U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation hearing, Preserving the Multistakeholder Model of Internet Governance <http://www.commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?p=Hearings&ContentRecord_id =683924ae-83d7-4bf4-922a-cdecb9556ba9&ContentType_id=14f995b9-dfa5-407a-9d35 -56cc7152a7ed&Group_id=b06c39af-e033-4cba-9221-de668ca1978a&MonthDisplay=2&Y earDisplay=2015> , focused on the IANA Stewardship Transition and the changes to ICANN's accountability needed to facilitate that transition. There were three witnesses before the hearing: Lawrence Strickling, NTIA <http://ntia.doc.gov/> Administrator, ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé and U.S. Ambassador David Gross on behalf of the Internet Governance Coalition. The witnesses were asked about the relationship of the IANA stewardship transition to a variety of issues, including intellectual property rights, net neutrality, human rights online, openness and innovation, international diplomacy and U.S. security. * * Senate Committee On Appropriations, Subcommittee On Commerce, Justice, Science, And Related Agencies * On 27 February, during the Subcommittee's hearing, Financial Year 2016 Department of Commerce Budget <http://www.appropriations.senate.gov/hearings-and-testimony/cjs-subcommitte e-hearing-fy16-department-commerce-budget> , U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker was asked why there was a need to remove the U.S. Government from the IANAstewardship role.

The CCWG-Accountability hopes to use the same firm as chosen by CWG-Stewardship, but remains open to the possibility of choosing a different legal counsel if the CWG-Stewardship's choice proves not to be the most appropriate one for CCWG-Accountability. Updates on other transition-related activities US Senate hearings: * Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation On 25 February, a U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation hearing, Preserving the Multistakeholder Model of Internet Governance<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.commerce.senate.gov_...>, focused on the IANA Stewardship Transition and the changes to ICANN's accountability needed to facilitate that transition. There were three witnesses before the hearing: Lawrence Strickling, NTIA<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ntia.doc.gov_&d=AwMFaQ&c...> Administrator, ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé and U.S. Ambassador David Gross on behalf of the Internet Governance Coalition.

ICANN is compiling bi-weekly updates on the community discussions and progress of theIANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN Accountability Processes. This information is positioned to help inform interested stakeholders in the recent developments in the processes, upcoming key dates, latest documents and drafts and a snapshot of any news coverage that occurs over the timeframe.
In brief
* The protocol parameters and numbers proposals submitted to the ICG in January 2015 have moved into Step 2 of the Proposal Assembly and Finalization Process<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_files_iana-2Dtransition-2Dassembly-2Dfinalization-2D24dec14-2Den.pdf&d=AwMFaQ&c=MOptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=62cJFOifzm6X_GRlaq8Mo8TjDmrxdYahOP8WDDkMr4k&m=dQtVvz0TSAhaTm7SUCNyxOihGZ47jrvC_faoBkJmQB8&s=YBcEOqXbHRuSyUy3yd4hQt7PY-ihwzfNC89_okW05dk&e=>[PDF, 92 KB]. * The work in the CWG-Stewardship and CCWG-Accountability have intensified, and both have activated a number of specialized teams focusing on specific issues. * CWG-Stewardship and CCWG-Accountability will hold face-to-face meetings in Istanbul at the end of March. * U.S. Senate Committees have questioned witnesses about the IANA Stewardship Transition and its implications for a variety of domestic and international issues.
ICG
* The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) is now using a website independent of ICANN: http://www.ianacg.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ianacg.org_&d=AwMFaQ&c=MOptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=62cJFOifzm6X_GRlaq8Mo8TjDmrxdYahOP8WDDkMr4k&m=dQtVvz0TSAhaTm7SUCNyxOihGZ47jrvC_faoBkJmQB8&s=Vm5R9Vqy9uW5O20IMxgVB8hnnof61EWcUzdhYbWTNNs&e=>. (Note that ICANN, as convener and facilitator of the IANA Stewardship Transition process, will continue to provide information on the transition, as well as the Enhancing ICANN Accountability process, on its website, https://www.icann.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_&d=AwMFaQ&c=MOptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=62cJFOifzm6X_GRlaq8Mo8TjDmrxdYahOP8WDDkMr4k&m=dQtVvz0TSAhaTm7SUCNyxOihGZ47jrvC_faoBkJmQB8&s=HckS5lLq17hEsusY4v-87sSWkIyEECB5mSRM2H-sIZs&e=>.) * The ICG is planning to hold a face-to-face meeting 18-19 June in Buenos Aires before ICANN 53<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__buenosaires53.icann.org...>. If necessary, the ICG may also meet on the morning of 20 June.
Timeline of work:
* Following discussions at ICANN 52<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__singapore52.icann.org_en...> in Singapore about the possibility of extending the ICG timeline for finalizing the IANA Stewardship Transition proposal, the ICG has decided to proceed as much as possible with the protocol parameters and numbers proposals and revisit the timeline<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.dropbox.com_s_y1c1e...> in the future once there is clearer information on how much work the names proposal requires of the ICG and the wider community. * With regard to the protocol parameters and numbers proposals, the ICG has moved forward into Step 2 of its Proposal Assembly and Finalization Process<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system...> [PDF, 92 KB]. Step 2 examines the compatibility and interoperability, accountability, and workability of the submitted proposals.
Additional output of the ICG:
* At its 25 February teleconference<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ianacg.org_coordinat...>, in addition to the final consolidated proposal to be submitted to the ICANN Board for transmission to the NTIA<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ntia.doc.gov_&d=AwMFaQ&c...>, ICG members decided to also produce a report of the information it collects during its work to ensure the three components of the stewardship proposal – protocol parameters, numbers and names – are not in conflict.

* The pace of work in the Cross-Community Working Group to Develop an IANAStewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>) is increasing as the CWG-Stewardship enters a new phase of work using "Design Teams." In addition, the CWG-Stewardship will hold a face-to-face meeting in Istanbul<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, 26-27 March 2015. As of 9 March, 18 CWG-Stewardship members and 15 participants have confirmed onsite attendance for the meeting.
Updated draft proposal:
* On 26 February, CWG-Stewardship published version 2<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dow...> [PDF, 232 KB] of the draft transition proposal, on which it will base its future updates. In particular, the work of the Design Teams is designed to fill in the remaining gaps in the proposal. The CWG-Stewardship is also working to refine its document, Draft of Principles and Criteria that Should Underpin Decisions on the Transition of NTIA Stewardship<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dow...>. The most recent version, sent to the CWG-Stewardship's mailing list for discussion, is dated 9 March 2015<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mm.icann.org_pipermail_c...>, and is still a work in progress.
A new way of working:
* CWG-Stewardship has introduced a new way of working on the names proposal: small groups of CWG-Stewardship members are to form "Design Teams" that each work on a very specific issue related to the names proposal. The aim is for each Design Team to deliver the results of its work back to the CWG-Stewardship for its consideration and action within two weeks of the Design Team's creation. Approved Design Teams will maintain publicly archived mailing lists of their communications. As of 5 March, there were 11 proposed Design Teams<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>.
Legal counsel:
* CWG-Stewardship's "Client Committee" has selected Sidley Austin LLP<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mm.icann.org_pipermail_c...> as legal counsel to the CWG-Stewardship. Sidley Austin will provide legal advice and consultation to the CWG-Stewardship as they develop their proposal.
CCWG-Accountability
* The work of the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANNAccountability (CCWG-Accountability) continues to gather speed with the formation of three new Work Parties (see "New Work Parties underway" below). The CCWG-Accountability will meet face-to-face in Istanbul, 23-24 March 2015<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, just prior to the CWG-Stewardship's face-to-face meeting at the same location. * The expected outcome of the Istanbul meeting is broad consensus on the work stream 1 mechanisms CCWG-Accountability will propose for public comment, launch date of 6 April 2015.
New Work Parties underway:
* WP1, Community Empowerment<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, has developed drafts of a number of accountability mechanisms<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...> based on a standardized template. Mechanisms under investigation include how to mitigate against ICANN or NTIA choosing to terminate the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC). The outcome of which would be ICANN no longer being held to its Affirmation Commitments, including the conduct of community reviews and required implementation of review team recommendations. * WP2, Review and Redress<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, held its first teleconference on 27 February 2015. It has created four specialized sub teams: Community Compact regarding ICANN Mission<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_acctcrosscomm_Compact-2BMission&d=AwMFaQ&c=MOptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=62cJFOifzm6X_GRlaq8Mo8TjDmrxdYahOP8WDDkMr4k&m=dQtVvz0TSAhaTm7SUCNyxOihGZ47jrvC_faoBkJmQB8&s=ZDOFDEKthdf3KCOWylwSylF4tFHzlsF7qvgj4uOJFS4&e=>,Office of Ombudsman<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, Request for Reconsideration<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>, and Independent Review<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...>. WP2 plans to have all current drafting work completed by 19 March 2015, in time for the CCWG-Accountability's Istanbul face-to-face meeting. * The Stress Test Work Party (ST-WP)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_dis...> will hold its first teleconference on 11 March 2015<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_pag...>. Its work has led on from one of the four original sub-groups of the CCWG-Accountability, on Identifying Contingencies<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_pag...>, and is using that original sub-group'smailing list<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mm.icann.org_pipermail_c...> to conduct its work. The latest version of the document that is the focus of ST-WP's activities, Using Stress Tests to evaluate existing & proposed accountability measures (v7)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mm.icann.org_pipermail_c...>, was posted to the mailing list on 7 March 2015.
Legal counsel:
* The CCWG-Accountability's Legal Sub Team has been working on a draft document<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_document_d_132V7P8nmyalhoso7zcevjW3-5Fox1laXn5JIEH3dDAF3A_edit-3Fusp-3Dsharing&d=AwMFaQ&c=MOptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=62cJFOifzm6X_GRlaq8Mo8TjDmrxdYahOP8WDDkMr4k&m=dQtVvz0TSAhaTm7SUCNyxOihGZ47jrvC_faoBkJmQB8&s=zKXeJvgtum7zzheEouj1gfn8hBQ8tgUUz3U1cOpqgyM&e=>outlining the issues it wishes to ask of legal counsel (see also "Legal counsel" in the CWG-Stewardship section above). The CCWG-Accountability hopes to use the same firm as chosen by CWG-Stewardship, but remains open to the possibility of choosing a different legal counsel if the CWG-Stewardship's choice proves not to be the most appropriate one for CCWG-Accountability.
Updates on other transition-related activities US Senate hearings:
* Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation
On 25 February, a U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation hearing, Preserving the Multistakeholder Model of Internet Governance<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.commerce.senate.gov_...>, focused on the IANA Stewardship Transition and the changes to ICANN's accountability needed to facilitate that transition. There were three witnesses before the hearing: Lawrence Strickling, NTIA<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ntia.doc.gov_&d=AwMFaQ&c...> Administrator, ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé and U.S. Ambassador David Gross on behalf of the Internet Governance Coalition. The witnesses were asked about the relationship of the IANA stewardship transition to a variety of issues, including intellectual property rights, net neutrality, human rights online, openness and innovation, international diplomacy and U.S. security.
