Dear all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the CWG IANA Call on 22 January are available here: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=51416957 Notes 1/22: 1. Welcome & Roll Call Audio-only: none ICG recognizes that CWG work is complex, but it is critical that we produce a new and revised timetable 2. Status Updates RFP3 -- Greg Shatan * Completed structural analysis of CSC on call this week (Monday) * "Sticky point" was composition of CSC: some convergence on how you would structure something that was primarily registries but would have a multistakeholder component. * Representative/Liaison from non-registry community that would have a formal role (could vote) on CSC and also link to MRT. RFP 3B -- Allan MacGillivray * One meeting to date. RFP 3B meeting this week is Friday at 14:00 UTC. * auDA submitted alternative proposal RFP 4 -- Robert Guerra No update since last call RFP 5 (postponed until after ICANN52) CCWG-Accountability -- Avri Doria * Started the meeting by asking Avri to discuss the note/issues that were sent to them. * Started looking at which issues belonged in WS1 and WS2 * 2nd day was more focused on WS1 -- there is a set of items that has been outlined (not yet final -- decision in progress) * Budget issues, for example, will be looked at, but the CWG may want to pursue specific aspects itself. * Appeal is important but will be further discussed * Is there sufficient clarity? Yes, but need to keep channel open as the group's work progresses 3. Legal Brief * Good part of document is educational (intended to provide update to attorney who may assist the group); the rest is a list of questions. * Funded by ICANN * Need volunteers to form client committee to interact with lawyers (legal background is suggested). This committee will include Greg and co-Chairs. * Need to start identifying firms that could assist. * As part of our overall timeline, need to confirm the timing of the procurement process (if necessary) 4. Looking Ahead & Timeline * Pressing requirement to develop a new timeline (not only because of ICG request, but also for good management) * Revised version on Flowchart -- loop with CCWG to confirm that their WS1 proposal would meet requirements in CWG conditional proposal. Idea is to respect the role of chartering orgs and CCWG. Also will have feedback loop. 5. Plan for ICANN 52 (Singapore) Webinars ahead of Singapore (ICANN 52)? (no objections) Discussion Draft (areas of convergence, areas of divergence, and key questions to be answered) CWG-Stewardship Sessions Scheduled for ICANN 52 * * Working Meeting on Wednesday at 17:15 * Question & Answers Session on Thursday at 10:30 Singapore Schedule: <http://singapore52.icann.org/en/schedule-full> http://singapore52.icann.org/en/schedule-full 6. Review of Action Items * Avri: live action item to continue this work of refining list of issues, especially as work progresses in both groups. * Chairs: ensure that the document is clear enough with the CCWG chairs * Greg: put out call for volunteers to join "client committee" * Greg: collect suggestions for counsel * Chairs: ensure close link with CCWG on legal advice * Chairs: confirm timeline and process for selecting and engaging lawfirm as part of overall planning * Chairs: develop a timeline for review by 29 January (next meeting) * Grace: clarify session descriptions in ICANN52 schedule 7.

Jaap. Thank you very much for circulating the article (and thank you, Alissa, for your kind words). I noticed that you inadvertently referred to Alissa as "Alice Cooper." I thought a "disambiguation page" (a la Wikipedia) might help avoid future confusion between them (or with Elisa Cooper, President of the Business Constituency). Please see the attached -- I think the visuals will help with the distinction among the three. [?] Greg Shatan On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 10:03 AM, Alissa Cooper <alissa(a)cooperw.in> wrote: > Thanks.

Re: [CWG-Stewardship] Chart on CWG link with CCWG on Accountability (UPDATED)
by Jonathan Robinson Jan. 21, 2015

Jan. 21, 2015

All, In reviewing the flow-chart, I felt it could do with some revisions as I have commented on a number of occasions. Most strikingly, the phrase "conditional accountability" has been causing some issues in that it's not clear what this means, especially to the CCWG on Accountability, as was evidenced by reference to it on various occasions during their face-to-face meeting today. What I understand that we mean by "conditional accountability" is that we view our proposal is conditional on specific accountability measures being put in place. Please see below for a summary of the changes which are encapsulated in the updated flow chart. The changes in the attached are as follows: * Changed 'final proposal identifying conditional accountability requirements' to 'final conditional proposal identifying accountability requirements' * Added dotted line and dotted box to indicate that CWG-IANA would communicate to CCWG-Accountability in case it considers that accountability requirements are not met * Updated (in bold) that chartering organisations would consider and approve (or not) work stream 1 recommendations and confirm whether accountability requirements have been met (or not) * Updated (in bold) that the ICG would receive communication from chartering organisations / CWG-IANA As ever, any comments or incremental improvements / developments welcome. Jonathan From: Jonathan Robinson [mailto:jrobinson@afilias.info] Sent: 14 January 2015 08:56 To: cwg-stewardship(a)icann.org Cc: Lise Fuhr (lise.fuhr(a)difo.dk) Subject: Chart on CWG link with CCWG on Accountability All, Please see attached for a draft / proposal for the mechanics and flow of linking the work of this CWG with that of the CCWG on Accountability. As you know, this is a critical area of our work. Accordingly, this chart is provided to facilitate discussion on the subject and to assist us in getting to a common CWG view of the linkage and relationship. Thank-you, Jonathan & Lise Co-chairs

RFP3 Notes, Transcript, Recording 19 Jan 21:00 UTC
by Brenda Brewer Jan. 21, 2015

Jan. 21, 2015

Hello all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the RFP3 call on 19 January at 21:00 UTC are available here: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=51416943 Notes Notes 19/1 Composition (page 2) * How is the names community defined? Symantic distinction - maybe revert back to 'other MS organizations'? * CSC focused on direct customers, but with a small number of representatives of other groups/organizations bringing specific expertise to the group (e.g. SSAC, RSSAC). * Currently customers already review IANA reports and information and report back accordingly. No barriers to issues being raised or brought forward, but focus should be on customers and technical function. * CSC may not need to meet for more than once every year or every two years * Functions of CSC should be narrowly focused * 1 non-customer representative, possibly drawn from MRT (liaison that could also speak on behalf of broader non-customer base?) * CSC would not be the new authorization function - would meet monthly to have a quick check of reports and if there are any issues, discuss how to resolve these (as currently already happens) by speaking directly to IANA. Only if issues are not resolved would these be escalated to MRT (no ability to interrupt / delay any IANA services). * Proposal - min of 2 ccTL registry reps/ min of 2 gTLD registry reps, with others able to opt in over time. How will the member seats on the CSC be allocated? * By CWG or MRT? Or by registries? * Registries (gTLD/ccTLD) should allocated registry seats. * SSAC/RRSAC/MS seats - consider a similar model as used by SSAC? Consider applications based on skills/expertise including peer review. * Selection process driven by those that have seats on CSC including some form of selection / credentialing. * Observers should be allowed (e.g. mailing list publicly archived, meeting recordings made available) * Should ccTLD registry representative seats be allocated by region? - up by each group (gTLD registies/ccTLD registries) to determine how many representatives are needed and whether any geographic diversity is required. Term length and limits * Term limit could be aligned with contract cycle - e.g. if term is 5 years, minimum term should be 5 years. How will decisions be made? * What would CSC be voting on? Possibly when to escalate something to MRT - but generally it would be expected to be rough consensus driven without any need for votes. Capture * Is there anything that this group could do that is beyond its remit? Capture needs to be looked at on a case by case basis. CSC has oversight role, escalation and reporting - what would be there to be captured? Site visits * Are part of the current contract - should these be continued by CSC or MRT? Are these still needed? Action Items: None

Request from ICG
by Alissa Cooper Jan. 20, 2015

Jan. 20, 2015

Dear CWG, The ICG has been following the developments in all of the operational communities, including the naming community. We have noted some discussions about the possibility that the CWG might require additional time to complete its response to the ICG RFP beyond its original planned submission date of 30 January 2015. In this regard, the ICG would appreciate receiving the CWG's estimated revised completion date, taking into account appropriate time for community consultation. Please communicate this to the ICG as soon as possible but not later than 31 January 2015. It would also be helpful for you to indicate what you expect the CWG’s major challenges to be to complete your work in a timely fashion and whether ICG coordination can be of assistance. We appreciate the CWG’s continued diligence in working towards target completion dates and we expect to stay in close contact concerning the group’s progress until its work is complete. Thanks, Alissa Cooper on behalf of the ICG
