Opening Remarks * Aim to keep the call to 1 hour, if possible * CWG-Stewardship currently has meetings scheduled for twice a week with option to cancel if meeting is determined not to be necesary * Will review at the end of the meeting to determine whether Thursday's call is needed 2. Update on Implementation Schedule * Other communities have already responded to implementation inventory from ICG with clear indication of who is responsible for what * Draft inventory has been circulated on the list - it is more detailed than what the group discussed on last call * Comparison foreseen between this inventory and the one of ICG to ensure that our Implementation Inventory in the same format as those of the other two operational communities so that they are directly comparable. Chairs to share list as initial overview of implementation items - noting that other items may get added over tiime, followed by request to staff to format it in the same way as ICG inventory. * ICG needs a consolidated list * Call earlier today with SO/AC/SG/C Chairs as well as CWG/CCWG leadership to discuss current status * ICANN staff has already commenced development of implementation plan Action item: Chairs to send implementation action list to ICG, noting this is an initial draft with updated / formatted version to follow by Friday Action item: Staff to format implementation action list so it is comparable to ICG format prior to Dublin Action item: All to send any other items that need to be added the the implementation action items by Thursday at the latest Action item: Chairs to share implementation action item list with ICANN staff working on implementation 3. ICG Questions * Deadline is 7 October * Update version circulated earlier today which reflects proposed changes. * Responses 3-5 approved * Response 9 has been updated to reflect input from Sidley and CWG-Stewardship discussion. Approved. * Responses 10-12 approved * Response 13 was updated to reflect small edit. Approved. * Response 2 approved. * Discussion on list concerning question 1: Proposed approach by Chuck: 1. I think that the first part of our response as copied here is fine: "The Verisign/ICANN proposal is not a vehicle for amending or replacing the Cooperative Agreement. Instead, their proposal is about how to logistically eliminate NTIA approvals at the moment of transition, and not introduce any risk. The Verisign/ICANN proposal addresses only paragraph 1150, Section 1. Section 2 has not, to the CWG-Stewardship's knowledge, been addressed." 2. The co-chairs should send a letter to the NTIA as soon as possible seeking clarification. I attached some proposed elements of such a letter. 3. We should add to our response by noting that we have sent some questions to the NTIA. 4. We should discuss whether there are other actions that we should take pending responses from NTIA. * Concerns expressed in public comments to ICG proposal if ICANN would be RZM as some feel strongly that role should be kept separately. CWG-Stewardship proposel does foresee public consultation / input should any changes be proposed. * Consider asking written clarification from NTIA? * Consider leaving first paragraph the same and replace second paragraph from 'addressed' with reference to statement from Larry from meeting earlier today? 'an arrangement must be in place. We understand that in a separate and parallel process the following is occuring...' * Should no agreement be reached on question 1, the other responses could already be submitted to the ICG noting that work is still ongoing on question 1. Action item: Staff to update response to question 1 as discussed - CWG-Stewardship to review. * Larry Stricklyn confirmed on call earlier today that what is in CWG-Stewardship proposal concerning RZM is sufficient. ICANN Staff confirmed it is working on minimal changes in relation to the transition and future changes would be subject to community input. * Question 7 - why were changes made to original response? As a result of discussions during last meeting. Mandatory does not necessarily match what is currently in the proposal. Referencing CCWG mechanisms may not be helpful for ICG at this stage. Can response be more firm that IFR/Special IFR recommendations are expected to be followed? Introduce a sentence in between: 'the sense of the CWG-Stewardship is that there is the expectation that such recommendations would be implemented'. Action item: Staff to update response to Q7 as discussed. * Questions emerged from public comment, not necessarily the ICG. 4. Update from CCWG-Accountability * A lot of work currently going on * CWG-Stewardship needs to be vigilant that the CCWG-Accountability work continues to meet the CWG-Stewardship requirements. This should be on track as a result of cross-CWG co-ordination (chairs, legal advisors, etc.) 5. Update on legal work * Sidley provided input on ICG question 9 * Written update requested on status of bylaw drafting * Sharon has requested whether her presence is needed in Dublin. Might be helpful if CCWG would decide to change model. Participation could also be done by email / phone. Take note of time difference. * Support for having Sharon available by phone / email as needed Action item: Chairs to confirm to Sharon that her physical presence will not be required but that she should be available to participate remotely at a minimum in the Wednesday CWG-Stewarship session. 6. AOB Proposal to cancel Thursday's meeting Action item: Staff to cancel Thursday's CWG-Stewardship meeting. 7. Closing Remarks CWG-Stewardship meeting confirmed for Dublin on Wednesday from 9.00 - 11.00 local time. Followed by an implementation meeting later that afternoon.
