October 2015 - CWG-Stewardship

Call for volunteers - IPR issue
by Lise Fuhr Nov. 4, 2015

Nov. 4, 2015

All, We now need to get to work on dealing with the IANA IPR. As you know, there are various reference documents as follows: 1. ICG Proposal <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-prop osal-EN.pdf> https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-propo sal-EN.pdf 2. The recent draft specification from the numbers community <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-October/004441.html> http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-October/004441.html 3. The framework from the protocols community <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-October/004449.html> http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-October/004449.html 4. The ICANN Board Statement <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-08-15-en> https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-08-15-en 5. The CWG Statement on the IPR issue <https://community.icann.org/x/LohYAw> https://community.icann.org/x/LohYAw It seems to the CWG Stewardship chairs that we need a group with relevant expertise to look into and propose the principles and requirements for a post-transition home for the IANA IPR. Relevant expertise may include; trademark law and practice, trust law and practice and detailed understanding of background to the formation, development and management of the IETF Trust. Given that the other operational communities are ahead of us on this and very interested to communicate and collaborate as necessary, there is some urgency to this work. Ideally a draft should be ready for the meeting on 5th November. Accordingly, please could we hear from interested participants with relevant expertise as soon as possible. Please express your interest on list. Thank you, Lise & Jonathan CWG Co-Chairs

Fwd: [CCWG-ACCT] ICG Completes its Work and Awaits Conclusion of CCWG on Enhancing ICANN Accountability
by Seun Ojedeji Oct. 30, 2015

Just incase someone on this list has not seen this (which is unlikely). Now that ICG is "done" Does the CWG need to formerly remind the CCWG on the need for them to finalise on her dependencies in a timely manner. Do we(CWG) need to intensify collaboration with the CCWG in order to speed up the processes by confirming dependencies requirements even before completing the 3rd report of the CCWG?

ICG Completes its Work and Awaits Conclusion of CCWG on Enhancing ICANN Accountability

Original link: https://www.ianacg.org/icg-completes-its-work-and-awaits-conclusion-of-ccwg- on-enhancing-icann-accountability/ ICG Completes its Work and Awaits Conclusion of CCWG on Enhancing ICANN Accountability Thursday, 29 October 2015 12:41 IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal <https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-transition-proposal-v9.pdf> [PDF, 2.4 MB] The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group has finalized the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal with the exception of one outstanding item. The names portion of the proposal is conditioned on ICANN-level accountability mechanisms currently under development in the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG). Before sending this proposal to the NTIA via the ICANN Board, the ICG will secure confirmation from the CWG that its accountability requirements have been met. The ICG would like to thank all those who submitted public comments during the ICG¹s public comment period. The ICG discussed this input and incorporated it into the current proposal as appropriate. As a result, matters relating to the dependency between the CWG and the CCWG, the Post-Transition IANA, the Root Zone Maintainer, the jurisdiction of ICANN, intellectual property related to IANA, and conformance with the NTIA criteria, among other matters, have been clarified. The numbers and protocol parameters portions of the proposal are complete, ready for implementation, and have no dependencies on the work of the CCWG or other remaining processes. Preparation for implementation of the numbers and protocol parameters proposals is underway and can continue without waiting for the CCWG to complete its work.

Statement from the operational communities at the ICANN Public Forum
by Grace Abuhamad Oct. 22, 2015

Oct. 22, 2015

Dear all, Please find below the statement made by Lise at the ICANN Public Forum. She was joined at the microphone by the leaders from the other operational communities. As part of the IANA Stewardship transition process, each Operational Communityprotocol parameters, numbers, names has been working to develop their proposals and to plan for the transition. But there are some areas where we have had to coordinate. For instance, the communities have worked together in the area of IPR for IANA Trademark and "IANA.ORG" domain. I want to convey a message from the all chairs of the IANA Stewardship Transition working groups from the names, the protocols and the numbers: we have collaborated and continue to collaborate to ensure the consistency of the transition effort. We are now nearing the implementation stage of the effort, and the three operational communities are committed to working together to develop an implementation plan based on our proposal for the IPR, and any other areas in the proposal which need coordination among the three operational communities.

Notes from today's CWG-Stewardship Meeting
by Marika Konings Oct. 21, 2015

Oct. 21, 2015

Dear All, Please find below the notes from today's CWG-Stewardship Meeting for your review. The recordings and transcript will get circulated shortly. Best regards, Marika Notes CWG-Stewarship Meeting 21 October 2015 1. Opening remarks Welcome of CCWG-Accountability Chairs and Trang Nguyen, ICANN Staff Implementation Team 2. CCWG-Accountability A. Update from CCWG-Accountability co-Chairs * See light at the end of the tunnel * See presentation that focused on core points that relate to the CWG-Stewardship * CCWG-Accountability is not changing the policy-making aspects of the ICANN community - important to emphasise. * Current status of SO/ACs remains the same * Areas of concern in public comment: reallocation/ concentration of power; membership rights/risk of capture. * Three phases for community decisions - 1) Engagement, 2) Escalation, 3) Enforcement * Moving towards consensus instead of voting in the community forum - consensus defined by the level of support, not only the level of objections * Enforcement is ultimate mechanism - discussing membership and designator member * Based on feedback from community and ICANN, a number of modifications have been made in relation to the budget requirements, but the CCWG-Accountability is of the view that the current proposal meets the CWG-Stewardship requirements. PTI budget would be ring-fenced and subject to separate veto. * Enforcement mechanism would also be able to deliver other aspects of CWG-Stewardship requirements. CCWG Accountability currently evaluating the differences of the two models (Designator / Single Member) to determine the differences, but also ensure that all the requirements are met. In both models, all SO/ACs would be involved in the decision-making process. B. Impacts for CWG-Stewardship dependencies * When available, CWG-Stewardship will review final proposal to confirm that its requirements are met. 3. Implementation A. Update on planning from ICANN (see also session at 15:30) * See presentation * Implementation timeline anticipated to be a minimum of 4 months * Administrative prep is already taking place, followed by planning and pre-work while the proposal would be in the NTIA Review & Implementation phase * Implementation would commence after NTIA approval. Until that time status quo is maintained. * On September 30, 2016 a contract would need to be in place with the Root Zone Maintainer to ensure continuity and stability. Is being negotiated with VeriSign - continuation of current services, but allows for change after transition if so determined by the community. * DT O to work with ICANN Staff on FY17 Budget Planning. ICANN Management will finalise assumptions on Transition/PTI by 15 January 2016. B. CWG-Stewardship role & oversight * CWG-Stewardship will likely need to play a role in review and possible oversight of the work of staff implementation to make sure it meets the intent of the policy recommendations. C. SLEs DT has captured current process. Approx. 80% of current log files will be able to address the SLEs identified. Using parallel track process to populate the SLE. Looking forward to receiving the data so that SLE can be populated. Once that has happened it will be circulated to the CWG-Stewardship. Note, NTIA will need to approve sharing of data first before that further steps can be taken. D. IPR Need a small team to draft requirements which are then reverted back to the CWG-Stewardship for approval. This team should also factor in the proposals submitted by the other communities. The other communities are looking forward to working with CWG-Stewardship on this topic. 4. Legal A. Progress update on Bylaws drafting See update provided by email by Legal Advisors B. Issues for the CWG TBD 5. AOB 6. Closing remarks * Pick up items on list * Schedule meeting for week of 2 November.
