REMINDER: IANA Naming Function Review Team Community Webinar
by Kimberly Carlson Sept. 29, 2020

Sept. 29, 2020

https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-09-21-en LOS ANGELES – 21 September 2020 – Today, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Naming Function Review Team (IFRT) has announced that it is in the final stages of completing its Initial Report. The IFRT will be holding a webinar for the community regarding one of their proposed recommendations that would require an amendment to the IANA Naming Functions Contract<https://pti.icann.org/agreements> between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI). This amendment may be of particular interest to country code top-level domain (ccTLD) and generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry operators. Per the ICANN Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en>, Article 18, Section 18.5.d.(a): "The IFRT may recommend, among other things to the extent reasonably related to the IFR responsibilities set forth in Section 18.3, amendments to the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW and/or the CSC Charter. The IFRT shall, at a minimum, take the following steps before an amendment to either the IANA Naming Function Contract, IANA Naming Function SOW or CSC Charter is proposed:……(iii) Conduct a public input session for ccTLD and gTLD registry operators." The IFRT noted that the IANA Naming Functions Contract<https://pti.icann.org/agreements> contains a requirement relating to the formatting of IANA's monthly Root Operations Audit Reports<https://www.iana.org/performance/root-audit> and this requirement can be considered obsolete. The IFRT therefore recommends that: In Article 7 Section 7.1 (a) the IFRT recommends that this statement "The relevant policies under which the changes are made shall be noted within each monthly report" be removed from the contract, as it is a legacy statement from the NTIA contract that is no longer required. The IFRT encourages all interested parties, and in particular ccTLD and gTLD registry operators, to join the scheduled informational webinar to learn more. Webinar Information Date: 29 September 2020 Time: 17:00 – 17:30 UTC Webinar Link: https://icann.zoom.us/j/96824197988?pwd=TGpISnFnck1TblpQdkthd0lHUzRxdz09 Passcode: IFRT_09/29 A recording of the webinar will be made available on the IFRT's Wiki page<https://community.icann.org/display/ifr> and you may submit questions and comments at any time via their public email list input-to-IFRT(a)icann.org<mailto:input-to-IFRT@icann.org>. For more information on the webinar, click here<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120819308>. About IFR The IANA Naming Functions Review (IFR) is one of the accountability mechanisms created as part of the IANA stewardship transition to ensure that ICANN, via its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), meets the needs and expectations of its naming customers. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. About PTI Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) is an affiliate of ICANN responsible for performing the IANA functions, which include management of the Domain Name System root zone, the global Internet Protocol address space and other protocol parameters that support Internet operation. PTI was formed in 2016 following a transition of stewardship to the multistakeholder community that relies upon the IANA functions. PTI performs the IANA functions under contract with ICANN.

DUE IN ONE WEEK: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Prep Week Schedule Now Available ICANN org recently announced the ICANN69 Prep Week schedule.

A Q&A session will be held at the upcoming ccNSO Members Meeting at ICANN69 in October 2020. In preparation of the Q&A session, the written candidate statements will be posted on the ccNSO website. The Q&A session gives the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidates, and to ask questions. Consult here<https://community.icann.org/x/awG-C> the agenda of the ICANN69 ccNSO Members Meeting. If at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates in a particular geographic region than there are seats on the ccNSO Council available for that geographic region, then the nominated candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council. Otherwise, an election shall be held for that geographic region, to select the ccNSO Councillors from among the valid candidates.

We will also publish the list of questions or topics received with the entire Community using the Policy digest as it was a successful tool for improving transparency and allow the groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of views on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: * Enhancing the effectiveness of the Multistakeholder model: key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation, and work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations (board-ops-team(a)icann.org)<mailto:board-ops-team@icann.org)> your single topic or the list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday 5 October 2020 or sooner. For information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman Chair, ICANN Board of Directors
