All, Many thanks to those who have come forward and volunteered for this group. It would be good to have a team lead / rapporteur in order to co-ordinate and organise the work of the group. Is anyone of the volunteers willing to step up to do so? Thank-you. Jonathan & Lise From: Lise Fuhr [mailto:lise.fuhr@difo.dk] Sent: 22 October 2015 15:11 To: cwg-stewardship@icann.org Subject: [CWG-Stewardship] Call for volunteers - IPR issue 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
