That is always a very good thing to do Kieren. It is at a lower level of detail than I intended but it would be good that we start doing it now. Understanding that we should do what you suggest on an ongoing basis, do you have any suggestions for groups that might be missed? The sooner we identify such groups, whether they are direct or indirect customers of IANA naming services, the sooner we can reach out to them.

In the RySG we plan to reach out to all gTLD registries and applicants that are not yet members or observers in the RySG and allow them to participate in our processes as part of the CWG.

Can I suggest the inclusion of a step that is good governance and may save problems later on:

* Identify groups that will be impacted by changes and ensure that they are properly represented in discussions

In other words, not assume that just because this group exists, that ICANN has posted announcements on its website, and there are lots of people and acronyms involved, that everyone that needs to be is aware of the implications and discussions.

The exercise of looking outwards toward those that will be impacted should also help provide broader understanding and context around IANA.

Your work plan might be improved or supplemented by reviewing the IANA stewardship coordination group’s Request for Proposals. This document shows CWG the format and data elements that will be required to submit your final proposal to the ICG. Below, I include the links.

The main RFP is here: http://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-iana-stewardship-08sep14-en.pdf [PDF, 84 KB]

Also keep in mind this advisory from the ICG:

Should any community submitting a proposal require clarifications to the RFP, these should be submitted to the ICG on or before Wednesday, 24 September 2014. Submissions should be sent by email tostewardship-rfp-questions@icann.org before this date, and responses will be provided by the ICG by 20 October 2014. Clarification questions will be posted to the public ICG mailing list.
