URGENT DECISION NEEDED: Note from CWG-Stewardship Chairs to the Chairs of the CWG-Stewardship Chartering Organizations Regarding IANA Intellectual Property Right
Dear Councillors, Please find the letter below (and attachment) and let me know your thoughts ASAP! As you can see: "This makes reference to the COs affirming in writing that they agree to be included in the instruction letter as a consenting SO/AC. As ICANN might formally reach out to us to obtain confirmation that one or more COs have agreed to be a consenting SO/AC, we hereby kindly ask that you provide such a written confirmation as a matter of urgency by replying to this email, preferably on or before September 30th, 2016, so that the signing of the agreement may proceed as planned.” We have adopted the proposal developed by the CWG and I believe we should not refuse to provide such a written confirmation. Any other thoughts/comments (apart from the disappointment with the utmost urgency)? Thank you!

These agreements are: - IANA IPR Assignment Agreement: This agreement transfers the IPR from ICANN to the IETF Trust. - 3 IANA IPR License Agreements (one each for the names, numbers, and protocol parameters IANA services.): These agreements allows for the IANA functions operator to use the IPR. - IANA - IPR Community Agreement: This agreement explains the rights and obligations of the IETF Trust and each operational community as regards the IPR. After a public comment period last month, the agreements have been finalized and are ready to be executed. One of the decisions that the CWG had to make as part of the work was to identify who would be the signatory of the Community Agreement on behalf of the Naming Community. The decision made by the group, with input from CWG external counsel, was to ask ICANN to play that role. An instruction letter has been assembled for that purpose. The Instruction Letter says: "This letter confirms the request of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (“CWG”) for the benefit of those of its listed chartering organizations – the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (“ccNSO”), the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (“SSAC”), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (“GNSO”), the At Large Advisory Committee (“ALAC”) and the Governmental Advisory Committee (“GAC”) – that have affirmed or hereafter affirm in writing that they agree to be included herein (each a “Consenting SO/AC” and collectively, the “Names Community”) that ICANN serve as the signatory for the Names Community under the Community Agreement." This makes reference to the COs affirming in writing that they agree to be included in the instruction letter as a consenting SO/AC. As ICANN might formally reach out to us to obtain confirmation that one or more COs have agreed to be a consenting SO/AC, we hereby kindly ask that you provide such a written confirmation as a matter of urgency by replying to this email, preferably on or before September 30th, 2016, so that the signing of the agreement may proceed as planned. Thank you for your cooperation, Lise Fuhr & Jonathan Robinson, CWG co-chairs.

Dear Ching, The list is not a particularly long one.

For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, ICANN hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers the Assigned Intellectual Property, including all goodwill therein, to the IETF Trust, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. “ You can find more background info in the Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multistakeholder Community or in IANA IPR Agreements (the quotes above are taken from draft IANA IPR Assignment Agreement) at https://www.ianacg.org/call-for-public-comment-on-iana-ipr-agreements/ Kind regards, ]{atrina From: Ching Chiao [mailto:chiao@brandma.co] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 1:55 PM To: Abibu Ntahigiye <abibu@tznic.or.tz> Cc: Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv>; ccNSO Council <ccnso-council@icann.org> Subject: Re: [ccnso-council] URGENT DECISION NEEDED: Note from CWG-Stewardship Chairs to the Chairs of the CWG-Stewardship Chartering Organizations Regarding IANA Intellectual Property Right No objection.
