Hi Allan, I wanted to suggest a way of operationalising the internal-to-ICANN solution for the consideration of RFP3B. I propose that: 1) MRT and CSC be internal committees of ICANN; 2) IANA be hived off as a wholly owned subsidiary of ICANN. The IANA staff continues to work as it presently does but legally all IANA operations are transferred to the wholly owned subsidiary of ICANN. There is no physical change in the IANA operator's location or present operations etc. 3) There is a IANA Functions Contract between ICANN and the ICANN Subsidiary. In this, (i) ICANN would become the contracting authority (with contracting powers delegated to MRT) and (ii) the ICANN Subsidiary would become the present IANA Functions Operator. This way everything remains internal to ICANN with the option of separability if required. Regards, Guru On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 10:12 PM, Jonathan Robinson <jrobinson@afilias.info> wrote:
All,
*RFP 3 Sub-Group (AKA RFP 3b) - CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS*
Please note this urgent call for volunteers for a sub-group of RFP3.
The sub-group is required to work together to further develop a variant proposal for the CWG which takes account of proposals and comments received by the CWG, particularly as they relate to a so-called “internal to ICANN” option or variant to the original draft proposal of the CWG.
Allan Mc Gillivray has offered to assist with co-ordination of the group and it will need a committed team to work with Allan in short order to make the requisite progress.
Thank-you.
Jonathan
CWG Co-chair
