Dear all, Thank you for a constructive discussion in today's call. Thanks to Grace we have updated texts that I now send out to you all for further comments/agreement. The outstanding points are: 1. Paragraph c.iv: Alan Greenberg has agreed to provide some text for a footnote to clarify the concept of "capture" as used in this document. Our discussion was useful and I think showed a good degree of consensus, that the intention is to cover the case where some stakeholder communities are excluded from discussions, as well as the more traditional meaning of decisions being dominated by a single stakeholder group. 2. Paragraph f.ii: Text was agreed subject to confirmation from the GAC (Elise Lindeberg) on the deletion of, "Third-party intervention in these decisions should not be possible except in the agreed use of trusted/impartial third party assessors." 3. New paragraph g.iii proposed by Kurt Pritz: this text was agreed by those on the call subject to a minor amendment and the new text reads, "For gTLDs: the IANA function should continue to provide service notwithstanding any on-going or anticipated contractual disputes between ICANN and the gTLD operator. No additional requirements for prompt delivery of IANA services should be imposed unless they are directly and demonstrably linked to global security, stability and resilience of the DNS." Kurt has been asked to confirm agreement to the deletion of the word "previous." 4. For Section h. (separability), amended wording appeared to have a good degree of consensus. 5. Section i: following the discussion, I am suggesting that the proposed text on the multi-stakeholder principle be clarified to respond to concerns that the management of the IANA function does not need to be multi-stakeholder, but the oversight mechanisms (or stewardship) do. I'd welcome comments.

Once you review, you can circulate back to full list. Best, Grace From: Martin Boyle <Martin.Boyle@nominet.org.uk<mailto:Martin.Boyle@nominet.org.uk>> Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 12:55 PM To: CWG Stewardship <cwg-stewardship@icann.org<mailto:cwg-stewardship@icann.org>> Subject: [CWG-Stewardship] Principles - revised version 10 December Dear all, My apologies for the delay in circulating a new version of the principles text for our discussion tomorrow. As requested, I have tidied up the text. In doing so: 1. I have ignored comments more related to implementation and use of the principles. These are obviously important and need to be reflected through into the development of the proposal but are not in themselves principles. 2. I have made minor and what appear to be mainly uncontroversial edits (including removing the two legacy footnotes!). 3. There was a comment about the need to do an analysis of capture mechanisms associated with c.iv. I have tried to add wording, although I am not sure that the addition is needed as again it is more an issue of implementation based on the principles, rather than a principle per se. I'd welcome thoughts. 4. I have asked Kurt Pritz for proposed wording for gTLDs on contract requirements in g.ii. 5. There are three outstanding major issues. a. The text in f.ii and the policy authority text for ccTLDs: I have tried to correct the flow of the paragraph from the chapeau text. I have also highlighted the proposed addition to take care of GAC-members' concerns about third-party involvement in decisions affecting ccTLDs. Otherwise the text is substantially as agreed in Frankfurt. b. Two additions proposed by Avri - f.vi and i. - have been marked as deleted. Neither was supported and both had calls for deletion. c. There have been calls for deletion of the final paragraph in section h and no support for retention. I have marked it as deleted. I hope that this helps us identify a way forward to complete this document. Thanks Martin Boyle
