Speaking from whois perspective, I would expect a scenario where whoever holds the TM (IETF trust for instance) to be the admin contact while ICANN would be technical contact for the domain name. I don't think we need to argue on the need for ICANN(IFO) to have "operational" access to the domain name. Regards Sent from my Asus Zenfone2 Kindly excuse brevity and typos.

Insteadm it must have a licence allowing it to be used day-to-day *BY* ICANN, as long as it is the IANA contractor. It must have de-facto day-to-day operational control. But that's it. Therefore the Registrant of IANA.ORG needs to become a trusted third party that holds the registration ON TRUST (in the legal sense) for the beneficial owner (call that RightsCo if you like), who provides an unlimited-use license to ICANN (or any other company that might get the IANA contract in the future) under the terms of its carrying out the IANA function.

Becky,

Not quite right. I believe there are three trademarks, but far more important than the trademarks is the control of the iana.org domain name. Despite the thousands of words of email devoted to the trademarks, in the case of IANA they’re of only modest, at best, practical importance. The domain name, however, is a key piece of the operation.

Gabi,

...

thank you for posting this.

All,

I want to place on record, that this needs SIGNIFICANT thought, and considerably more detail than what is provided here.

In particular what actual Intellectual Property Rights do they mean, EXACTLY? And I would like to see them in a numbered list :-)-O

Most certainly will the root zone (database) on which the NSF is performed, and the contacts database (DEF) NOT fall under this.

Without having thought this through to the end, however, I think this is a WS1 item for the CCWG Accountability, and needs to be dsicussed on tonight's call.

Fortunately, we have time, the transition has been postponed to 2016-09-30 last Friday

Dear all,

ICANN has released a statement regarding the IANA Intellectual Property Rights:

=== ICANN Statement Regarding IANA Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)15 August 2015 ICANN supports the IANA Stewardship Transition Group (ICG) proposal and the underlying proposals from the Community Working Group (CWG), the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team and the Planning for the IANA/NTIA Transition (IANAPLAN) working group. The ICANN Board is focused on how to implement the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) component of the proposal. The Board believes that for stability and pragmatic operational reasons, the IANA Functions Operator must have operational control over the IANA.ORG < https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__iana.org_&d=AwICAg&c

During the transition, ICANN is prepared to transfer full ownership of the IANA-related trademarks to a neutral third party mutually agreed among the operational communities with the understanding that ICANN, as the current IANA Functions Operator, will be granted license to those trademarks and ICANN will maintain operational control of the IANA.ORG

If the transfer during the transition affects the timeline, we advise delay until after the transition. In that event ICANN is ready to hold the IPR as interim measure but commits to transfer it within 120 days after the neutral third party is identified by the operational communities. We believe this is neutral and in the public interest. We look forward to hearing from anyone in the community.
