TF to serve as a sounding board for ICANN implementation staff - any decisions are brought back to the CWG-Stewardship for review. TF has two meetings a week scheduled, to be used if needed. All of the meetings are recorded and transcripts will now be provided as well. Mailing list archives are publicly available. All the materials and recordings are available at <https://www.icann.org/stewardship-implementation> https://www.icann.org/stewardship-implementation. Those interested to join the TF as an observer, please contact <mailto:yuko.green@icann.org> yuko.green@icann.org. 2. Implementation Planning - Staff update (Trang Nguyen) - see <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/58721771/CWG%20Update%2031M... ficationDate=1459441722785&api=v2> slide deck presented. * Interim PTI Board: will the ICANN Board appoint all 5 people and then these will be replaced? No, ICANN Board would appoint ICANN PTI Board members, these would not be considered interim. Further consideration will need to be given to how to select the interim independent Board members (see also PTI Board & Structure item) * Bylaws drafting - Legal advisors where pleased with co-operation between all the lawyers. Are progressing in a timely fashion. Expect to be ready to send something for review to CCWG-Accountability and CWG-Stewardship by 1 April. See questions circulated by Lise. * Question 1 - recommendation to go with supermajority vote. Reference should be to ccNSO Council and GNSO Council (not ccNSO and GNSO). Do both Councils have supermajority defined? GNSO Council Supermajority is defined in the ICANN Bylaws. What is the rationale for recommending a supermajority vote? Items are intended to have a high approval treshold. Agreement to follow the recommendation for a supermajority vote. Action item 1#: Lise to communicate agreement to go with supermajority vote for question 1, noting that reference should be changed to GNSO Council and ccNSO Council. * Question 19 - recommendation to go with 30 days. Agreement to go with 30 days. Action item #2: Lise to communicate agreement to go with 30 days for question 2. * How should CWG-Stewardship go about reviewing the Bylaws? Bylaws are expected to be published for public comment by 20 April so any input from the CWG-Stewardship would need to be received before that time. Consider scheduling an additional CWG-Stewardship meeting for next week. Action item #3: Lise to confirm as soon as possible whether additional CWG-Stewardship call is scheduled for next week. * Budget process (Chuck Gomes) - see financial objectives for PTI as developed by DT O and circulated to the mailing list. Consider what needs to appear in the Bylaws, for example in relation to reserve. If not in Bylaws, maybe in the contract? DT O is of the view that there should be a statement in the Bylaws that there should be multi-year guaranteed funding for PTI. DT O communicated this to Becky Burr who was involved in the Bylaw drafting, noting that the CWG-Stewardship had not agreed to it yet. Discussed in previous call that Sidley would provide a light touch approach, not committing to any kind of specific resolution, allowing for further deliberations to take place. General principle should be embodied in the Bylaws, the solution should be decided and embodied elsewhere. Support for this approach by those on the call, provide some additional time to those not on the call to express support / objection. * CWG-Stewardship to consider whether to submit comments on the FY17 Budget. DT-O to expected to make a recommendation to the CWG-Stewardship following tommorow's DT-O meeting. Deadline for comments is 30 April. Action item #4: CWG-Stewardship to provide input on the proposed financial objectives for PTI as circulated to the mailing list within 48 hours. Action item #5: Confirm on list no objections to proposed recommendation to ensure that PTI multi-year guaranteed funding is covered in the Bylaws within 48 hours. * CSC Charter - staff working with Donna (GNSO), Katrina (ccNSO) and relevant staff to work through some of the issues in relation to the CSC. For example, appointment / re-appointment procedures in GNSO and ccNSO. Status update will be provided to CWG-Stewardship team following those discussions. Ensure that both communities understand what the requirements are for the creation of CSC and relevant procedures are in place, for example for the approval of the CSC membership. Working out geographic diversity and skills requirements. * PTI Board & Structure: overview of discussions by IOTF - see slides presented during call. Suggestion to have Jonathan and Lise to serve as interim PTI independent directors assuming there are no issues around conflict and independence until the NomCom would be able to make the selection as originally foreseen as part of their normal selection cycle. Action item #6: CWG-Stewardship to provide feedback on the suggestion to have Jonathan and Lise to serve as interim PTI independent directors assuming there are no issues around conflict and independence within 48 hours. * All three IANA functions will be moved to PTI. This is considered to be in line with the CWG-Stewardship proposal. * ICANN legal is preparing memo in relation to difficulties of transferring staff to PTI. To be discussed further. Action item #7: Confirm agreement with recommendation that all three IANA functions will be moved to PTI as it was originally foreseen in the ICG/CWG-Stewardship Proposal. 3.
