Jonathan & Lise,

I am happy to volunteer for this task.  I view this as a neutral facilitator/rapporteur role and would strive to be effective in that capacity.  We have the benefit of excellent legal counsel if a question of law or legal best practice arises; while I would hope that we would need to turn to them only rarely, doing so would be preferable to trying to hash out "the law" in this DT.  What's important is to work in an open, collegial and reasonably efficient manner to establish "the principles and requirements for a post-transition home for the IANA IPR." 

I will caution that the original goal of having a draft ready for the meeting on the 5th of November (which is in less than 18 hours) is a tad ambitious.  Nonetheless, I'm committed to working as quickly as possible under the circumstances, consistent with good BUMP (bottom-up multistakeholder processes).

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

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-proposal-EN.pdf

 

2.      The recent draft specification from the numbers community 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

 

4.      The ICANN Board Statement https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-08-15-en

5.      The CWG Statement on the IPR issue 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
