I must say that I find this level of bureaucracy totally unreasonable. This is not someone from outside the organization trying to get ICANN to reveal some secret, it is a properly chartered ICANN CWG trying to understand its task mandated by the Board.

Hi James,
I understand that there is a tight timeline, but the person seeking the information should submit the request, not staff.

Hi Grace,
 
Given the tight timelines involved here could a member of staff manage/expedite a response on behalf of the chairs/CWG?

At a minimum, we should ask what needs to be done to allow some review of it.

I believe that any such document must be shared with the CWG, if only with the Co-Chairs or some specific sub-set of the CWG who of course must sign an appropriate confidentiality document and perhaps get clearance for what they share (with an appeal process in the case of a disagreement).

Hi all,

We looked into this and noted that the Continuity & Contingency Plan is confidential and cannot be distributed.

Notes, transcripts, and recordings for RFP4 call are available here: https://community.icann.org/x/MYcQAw

Best,
Grace

Hi Avri,

This was an action item for the staff from the call on 25th November. I believe they have already put in a request for the document with the IANA staff. Maybe Grace or Marika can update us on the request.

"ACTION staff : Ask IANA staff to share details on 7.3 that might be available for the public and/or online"

Hi,
Is that 'transition to a "successor  contractor" plan' available to the CWG?

Section C.7 in the current contract addresses issues of continuity of operations - particularly C.7.3, according to which ICANN should have a transition to a "successor
contractor" plan in place at the moment

As someone whose ICANN 'job" is supporting/defending the needs of Internet users, I will point out that security and stability of the IANA functions is of paramount importance for the ALAC as well.
I look forward to the seeing how that can be assured in a potentially disruptive switch of the IANA operator where it may be that there is no continuity of either staff or systems.

I largely agree with Christopher. I think we are creating complexity where it does not necessarily need to be, but as we are here I want to reiterate a few comments I made on the RFP 3 call earlier today, and these comments come from a gTLD registry operator perspective:
·         Operational stability and reliability of the IANA service is imperative to the business operations of registry operators and as such this should be a critical consideration in any discussions.
