Dear members of the CWG Stewardship, During ICANN55, the CWG chairs have suggested that an Implementation Oversight Task Force (IOTF) be formed to provide input on the implementation of the ICG proposal. This Task Force is currently made up of the CWG chairs, the leads of the CWG design teams and ICANN implementation team. We have reached out to NRO EC and IAB/IETF leadership for their participation as well. The IOTF is planned to have an ongoing call twice a week. It has had its first meeting on 21 March 2016 and I am circulating the meeting notes below. The presentation material, audio and AC room recordings are now posted at https://www.icann.org/stewardship-implementation under "Meetings & Work Sessions" section. ********Meeting Notes******** IOTF Call #1 21 March 2016 @ 15:00 UTC Please note that this meeting is being recorded. Agenda: 1. Opening Remarks (Jonathan/Lise) 2. Overview and objective of IOTF (Jonathan/Lise) a. Composition b. Work method 3. Implementation items (Trang) a. Overview of initial list of implementation item requiring input from IOTF b. Discussion of list, including addition of any items Notes: Mailing list to be open list for subscribers (Read only) and write permission is given only to IOTF group Agenda #3. Implementation items (Trang) ICANN-PTI Contract should be added to the list of implementation items requiring input from IOTF Staff should provide the proposals for each of the listed items to facilitate the discussion DT-O work will go directly to CWG, not to IOTF Selection of PTI independent Board of Directors One option is for ccNSO and GNSO to nominate the interim directors for this year Another option is for Jonathan and Lise to be the interim Directors Can NomCom be utilized for independent Board of Directors? Those directors need to be knowledgeable about IANA functions NomCom could be utilized if given the specific selection criteria that is customer centric NomCom to appoint, subject to being provided a criteria from customers of IANA functions, subject to relevant legal constraint. We need a mechanism for interim appointment, potentially by GNSO (RySG), ccNSO/cc's. ICANN Bylaws should include provisions for interim appointment. PTI Structure There are concerns about moving the IANA staff into PTI raised during Marrakech. Currently pending ICANN Legal to provide a memo. Operational efficiency will be gained if Names functions only were moved to PTI If PTI is not looking after all 3 functions, there will be a question of stewardship of IANA Concrete proposals for how PTI could be structured and organized from a staff's point of view should be provided for IOTF to review and evaluate Separate the legal constraint and nice-to-have items Next call agenda - Selection of PTI independent Board of Directors Is NomCom the right mechanism? Interim selection ongoing selection - PTI Structure 3 functions moves to PTI vs. only names function Action Items: 1. Reach out to ICG, numbers, and protocol communities for IOTF call participation (Trang) 2.
