Dear All, The RFP5 sub-group had the first meeting Friday December 12. Cheryl Langdon-Orr volunteered to be coordinator for the group, and Avri Doria will be the liaison between this group and RFP3 and RFP4. Since this group only has 5 people listed as members (Avri hasn't signed up yet but was on the call.) - we urge some more of you to join the group. Please send an email to Grace Abuhamad grace.abuhamad@icann.org if you want to be a part of the RFP5 sub-group. The assignment of RFP5 is to describe how the proposal meet the requirement from NTIA - you can see this below. "V. NTIA Requirements Additionally, NTIA has established that the transition proposal must meet the following five requirements: . Support and enhance the multistakeholder model; . Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS; . Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA functions; . Maintain the openness of the Internet; . The proposal must not replace the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution. This section should explain how your community's proposal meets these requirements and how it responds to the global interest in the IANA functions. Note: CWG-RFP3 and 4 should have considered this in their work and this should only be a final sanity check to produce the text confirming this requirement once 3 and 4 are completed." Best regards, Lise
