Dear all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the CWG IANA Face to Face Day 2 Session 7 Meeting on 27 March are available here: <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=52893302> Session 7 Notes Overarching concerns that affect all models : * legacy of TLD contracting or not (diversity of community idea) * Continuity of service (staffing) Review & test models (continued) Focus: what are the objectives and constraints? At the point of transition, the functions will be with ICANN and the job of this group and the CCWG-Acct is to ensure that we can be satisfied with that. Eventually, there needs to be possibility for separation if required. We are using the term "stewardship" interchangeably, but the term means different things depending on context (NTIA is steward for DNS) Internal and external models are about how the separation of the names function is managed if needed. A stewardship problem is different than a competency problem At some point, there is a need to discuss MRT and whether that is needed or not (for internal, ICANN may have the structure in place) Comments from Sidley There is a lot of work to be done to understand the models and the 'teeth' that their mechanisms may provide Sidley is well positioned to help carve this out. Could do with 3, but is much harder. Would prefer fewer or a priority. Question to consider during the break What are the fundamental issues that we are trying to solve for? Are we or can we converge around a solution? Is there something around which we can converge?
