Changes to IANA Stewardship - Decision Being Sought on a Final Transition Proposal
by Byron Holland June 12, 2015

June 12, 2015

Dear Colleagues The community has worked long and hard to prepare an IANA transition proposal and the Cross Community Working Group on IANA stewardship transition (CWG). Its final proposal was published yesterday, June 11, 2015. The Final Proposal is available on this website: https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw Les traductions de la proposition finale devraient être disponibles sous peu sur ce site: https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw Traduction de los propuestas finales sera disponibles pronto por nuestro sitio web : https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw Espera-se que as traduções para a Proposta Final estejam disponíveis em breve no site: https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw 最终方案的翻译版本将很快在本网站发布: https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw Перевод окончательного предложения, как ожидается, будет доступна в ближайшее время на этом сайте: https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw ومن المتوقع أن تكون متاحة قريبا على هذا الموقع ترجمة للاقتراح النهائي: https://community.icann.org/x/aJ00Aw As one of the chartering organizations the ccNSO has been asked to approve that proposal by 24 June 2015. However, I and our colleagues on the ccNSO Council see this as a decision for all ccTLDs, not just ccNSO members and the ccNSO Council. In order to reflect this I have invited leaders from the ccTLD regional organizations (LACTLD, APTLD, AFTLD and CENTr) community to jointly convene, with the ccNSO, the ccTLD discussions of the CWG Proposal that will occur in Buenos Aires on 23 and 24 June 2015. In order to decide on the CWG proposal that is in front us, I invite you (or someone you designate) to participate in person or remotely in these meetings, in particular in the sessions on Wednesday 24 June 2015, starting at 15.30 UTC (Local Buenos Aires time 12.30). Included you will find an overview of sessions as currently planned. Closer to the meeting the ccNSO secretariat will send you the details for remote participation. To devote as much time as possible to the discussions I have prepared a summary of the essential elements in the Proposal, which is also included. I also invite you to attend in person or remotely the general informational session of the CWG and Cross Community Working Group Accountability on Monday 22 June, from 10.30 until 13.00 local BA time (UTC 13.30 until 16.00). I hope you will be able to participate in the discussions on 23 and 24 June and take part in our decision making process on this important topic that affect us all. Kind regards, Byron Holland Chair of the ccNSO

CWG-Stewardship Response for Chartering Organization Consideration and Approval
by Byron Holland June 11, 2015

June 11, 2015

Dear Councillors, Please see the note below. Best regards, Byron From: Grace Abuhamad <grace.abuhamad(a)icann.org<mailto:grace.abuhamad@icann.org>> Date: Thursday 11 June 2015 16:53 To: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:alan.greenberg@mcgill.ca>>, Byron Holland <byron.holland(a)cira.ca<mailto:byron.holland@cira.ca>>, "Thomas.Schneider(a)bakom.admin.ch<mailto:Thomas.Schneider@bakom.admin.ch>" <Thomas.Schneider(a)bakom.admin.ch<mailto:Thomas.Schneider@bakom.admin.ch>>, Jonathan Robinson <jrobinson(a)afilias.info<mailto:jrobinson@afilias.info>>, Patrik Fältström <paf(a)netnod.se<mailto:paf@netnod.se>> Cc: Lise Fuhr <lise.fuhr(a)difo.dk<mailto:lise.fuhr@difo.dk>>, Theresa Swinehart <theresa.swinehart(a)icann.org<mailto:theresa.swinehart@icann.org>>, Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org<mailto:bart.boswinkel@icann.org>>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org>>, Bernard Turcotte <turcotte.bernard(a)gmail.com<mailto:turcotte.bernard@gmail.com>> Subject: CWG-Stewardship Response for Chartering Organization Consideration and Approval Sent on behalf of CWG-Stewardship Chairs by support staff. To: CWG-Stewardship Chartering SOs and ACs The ALAC, ccNSO, GAC, GNSO, and SSAC Dear SO and AC Chairs, CWG-Stewardship proposed response to the ICG RFP the IANA Stewardship Transition The Cross Community Working Group on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) is pleased to provide its Chartering Organizations with its proposed response to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) Request for Proposals on the IANA Stewardship Transition for your consideration and approval as per its Charter. The response is the result of extensive work by the CWG's 19 members, 133 participants and a team of highly qualified legal advisors over the past year, which included over 100 calls or meetings, 2 public consultations and more than 4,000 email messages. It represents a carefully crafted balance between key requirements, specific legal advice, and significant compromises by all who participated and includes diligent attention to the input received through the Public Comment proceedings. The final proposal has received the consensus support of the CWG-Stewardship with no objections or minority statements recorded for Chartering Organization consideration. As noted in the CWG-Stewardship proposal itself, the proposal is significantly dependent and expressly conditioned on the implementation of ICANN-level accountability mechanisms proposed by the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability). The co-chairs of the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability have coordinated their efforts and the CWG-Stewardship is confident that the CCWG-Accountability recommendations, if implemented as expected, will meet the requirements that the CWG-Stewardship has previously communicated to the CCWG. If any element of these ICANN level accountability mechanisms is not implemented as contemplated by the CWG-Stewardship proposal, this proposal will require revision. We also note that there are certain implementation elements that will require further dialogue in the near future, including with the other operational communities, and these have been marked as such in the final proposal. Two specific issues are particularly important to highlight. One is the finalization of the service level expectations (SLEs), where the proposal includes a set of agreed principles between the CWG and IANA, but these remain to be finalized in the form of a mutually agreed set of SLEs. A detailed plan for this finalisation is being worked on and it is our view that this detail, whilst vitally important, does not impact on the substance of the proposal put to you for approval. The second issue entails the location of intellectual property rights and this needs further discussion with the other respondents to the ICG RFP and ICANN. As per the CWG-Stewardship's Charter we now seek your approval to submit this final proposal to the ICG and ask you to consider this approval in accordance with your respective SO or AC rules and procedures by 25 June 2015 to meet the overall timing requirements which would allow the transition to proceed, noting that final approval is conditional on the approval of the CCWG-Accountability Work Stream 1 recommendations. We will make ourselves, together with or other key contributors, available to you at the ICANN 53 meeting in Buenos Aires in order to answer any questions you may have and to explain any details of the proposal. For your information, further background documents as well as the slides, recordings and transcripts of recent webinars explain the details of the final proposal are available here: https://community.icann.org/x/sJc0Aw. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Lise Fuhr & Jonathan Robinson Co-Chairs, CWG-Stewardship

Fwd: [CWG-Stewardship] CWG -'Final Proposal'
by Chris Disspain June 10, 2015

June 10, 2015

All, FYI, see my note just sent to the CWG list. Cheers, Chris > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Chris Disspain <ceo(a)auda.org.au> > Subject: [CWG-Stewardship] CWG -'Final Proposal' > Date: 10 June 2015 22:32:35 AEST > To: cwg-stewardship(a)icann.org > > Dear Jonathan, Lise and CWG members, > > As a response to Grace’s call for final comments and submissions, I would like to offer these observations – both as a CWG participant and on behalf of auDA. > > Firstly, thank you all for the tremendous amount of time, effort and commitment you have all dedicated to this unprecedented process. Particular thanks to Jonathan and Lise for their exemplary leadership and incredible stamina. > > Thanks also to the many ICANN support staff who, no doubt, have not had a “quiet day” since some time in 2014. > > Plaudits aside, I would like to welcome this most recent “final draft” proposal. I note that auDA has previously submitted two formal comments to the CWG’s public consultations, which contained both supportive statements and constructive criticism. The way in which community criticisms, in particular, were acknowledged and actioned by the group is an excellent exemplar of the multi-stakeholder model in action. > > In our response to the 22 April public consultation round, auDA noted a number of concerns including: > - a lack of clarity regarding separation mechanisms, > - unclear jurisdiction, scope and structure for the PTI, > - triggers and processes for “special” IANA Function Reviews, > - composition of the IFRT, > - empowerment of “direct customers” of IANA, and most notably, > - the legal structure of the PTI and its relationship with ICANN. > > I welcome the CWG’s response to these and other comments, including: > - clarification of separation mechanisms / processes, including the inclusion of a “Separation Cross-community Working Group”, > - additional detail regarding how a “special” IFR review would be triggered, and > - refinements to the IFRT structure, including an extra ccNSO participant and a provision that the group will not be allowed to take a decision on an exclusively “ccTLD issue” if it doesn’t concur with the position of the group’s ccTLD members. > > Finally, auDA notes that the CWG has determined to propose a contractual relationship between the PTI and ICANN. While this does not directly accord with our original position, we acknowledge that the CWG’s view is supported by the majority of the community and welcome the resultant establishment of the PTI as a “controlled affiliate” of ICANN, established as a Public Benefit Corporation in California. > > While there are still a number of details to be resolved, auDA is pleased to express support for the CWG’s final draft proposal, both on this list and at our upcoming discussions in Buenos Aires. > > > > Cheers, > > Chris Disspain | Chief Executive Officer > .au Domain Administration Ltd > T: +61 3 8341 4111 | F: +61 3 8341 4112 > E: ceo(a)auda.org.au <mailto:ceo@auda.org.au> | W: www.auda.org.au <http://www.auda.org.au/> > auDA – Australia’s Domain Name Administrator > > Important Notice - This email may contain information which is confidential and/or subject to legal privilege, and is intended for the use of the named addressee only.
