Approval of 2nd IANA Function Review Team recommendations No decision in July, is deferred to meeting 220 until. Background - The ccNSO Council is required to support recommendations from the 2nd IFRT to make it to a Bylaw change: Section 18.6 (b) of the Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/en/governance/bylaws#article18> reads that any recommendations by the IFR that would amend the IANA Naming Function Contract shall only become effective if: (i) The IFR Recommendation has been approved by the vote of (A) a supermajority of the ccNSO Council (pursuant to the ccNSO's procedures or, if such procedures do not define a supermajority, two-thirds (2/3) of the ccNSO Council's members) and (B) a GNSO Supermajority;” The IFR2 will make the following recommendations that meet the above criteria (note: the IFR2 draft report<https://www.icann.org/ar/public-comment/proceeding/second-iana-naming-functi...> that was published for public comment in March-April 2025 also included these two recommendations and received no objections. The final report is now moving through the final consensus steps with the IFR2). ● Recommendation 1: The IFRT2 recommends removing the policy details from the IANA Naming Function Contract (see Annex A, 4 (i) (1)). ● Recommendation 2: The IFRT2 recommends identifying and pointing to the appropriate policy authority for DNSSEC in the IANA Naming Function Contract (see Annex A, 4 (i) (1)). 18. Support transfer IANA Intellectual property rights from IETF Trust to IETF IPMC Support request for transfer of IANA Intellectual proprietary rights from IETF Trust to IETF Intellectual Property Management Corporation. The ccNSO appointee on the cross-community group overseeing and ensuring accountability of use of Intellectual property rights, advises to support the transfer, which is a legal, technical change that in his view has no impact on the objectives behind the transfer and licensing of the IANA IPR. Background material: Note Maarten Simon on Transfer of IANA IPR, circulated to Council in July 2025 19. Initiate ccNSO Council statement procedure to provide comment on the draft "The Root Server System Governance Structure" For discussion and decision 20.

This also includes a call for volunteers (at least 3 Councillors). 21.
