Dear Donna, Dear Friends and Colleagues:
With reference to the DT-C notes on the 'Punch List', attached, for which I thank you, allow me a short comment on Point 11: CSC Composition.
The concept of a TLD that is not a ccTLD or a gTLD is rather obscure. Many would consider that there are none such. However, internal evidence suggests that CWG considers that there are some.
In which case, to the best of my knowledge, the only candidates are .int, .gov, .edu and .mil. or .arpa,
thus the DT-C comments under point 11, would appear to be a rather odd circumlocution, if the intention is to ensure that the USG-based TLDs, or the ICANN-based TLDs, would somehow have an 'extra' seat on the CSC.
I drew this question to your attention in my mail, below, of 26 February, but did not receive a reply.
Having reviewed in some detail the most recent version of the CWG transition proposal, I still find no reference to the above TLDs (with the exception of .int)
Indeed, if it is the CWG position that these TLDs should be somehow 'grandfathered' outside the IANA transition, then may I suggest that it behoves someone - not excluding NTIA - to say so clearly, now.
Otherwise there will be a lingering misunderstanding that would sit uncomfortably with the underlying proposition that the IANA transition is to the global multistakeholder Internet community.
Regards

Jonathan, Lise:
Thankyou for another draft magnum opus. As you say there are several aspects to be completed in greater detail.
Meanwhile, may I point out that under:
I.
The Community’s Use of the IANA
- and indeed in the whole document, there is no reference to the TLDs: .gov, .mil, .edu and .arpa.
These are not gTLDs, as the reference to .int confirms. For the sake of completeness, it would not be appropriate to ignore them.
