Siva's document is available here: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QVC12Q-NuB35pyaBirUDF85DBR_oFHkEYC5vbWu0...> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QVC12Q-NuB35pyaBirUDF85DBR_oFHkEYC5vbWu0... RFP5 presented by Cheryl * Also no meeting last week, but have a draft in Wiki and able to contribute some early work * Draft page here: <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG-RFP5+-+Draft> https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG-RFP5+-+Draft Relationship with CCWG-Accountability Please take a look at the flowchart to see the conditionalities Inputs for Frankfurt (initial draft by Alan) -- there is some urgency because the CCWG is meeting on Monday and Tuesday. The two streams of work (CWG and CCWG) are interrelated but need to be decoupled in some way. The timelines are not in sync, which is why there is a need for conditionality and coordination. For a draft list of inputs, please see Alan's email on list. Chuck Gomes: There are some items for which we don't need input from the CCWG-Accountability. For example: #2 Independent certification for delegation and re-delegation requests --> this is in "our court" Internal to ICANN Model Requirements Milton Mueller: Hard to know what actions you will need when you remove separability Jonathan Robinson: When the transition occurs,IANA function must remain operational. Must also replace NTIA's role in oversight Avri Doria: The list may actually be more complex, but not sure how to show/capture that yet Paul Kane: any decision made by the ICANN Board should be subject to appeal (also endorsed Jonathan's and Chuck's earlier statements) 1. gTLDS 2. ccTLDs a. contractual agreement b. no contractual agreement Action: Avri & Chuck volunteer to work on Alan's document Action: Grace to assist editors with capturing comments made on today's call in document Looking Ahead & Timeline A. Key Dependencies * one of them is relationship with CCWG-Accountability (Jonathan will discuss) * legal advice (will be discussed under B) * chartering organizations --> No new key dependencies * Will need legal advice on what we can and cannot do (under the current ICANN structure) * The details of the way forward B. Legal Advice * Take a look at the draft and the thread on the list * Had conversation with Sam Eisner from ICANN Legal. She assisted in refining the questions. * Will receive outside counsel and, even through ICANN will pay, the direction and advice is provided to the client (the CWG). * Will be an iterative process -- more detailed legal questions can be added as we get them * ICANN has a procurement process so if we used a firm that had never worked with ICANN before, then we would need to go through that. * --> This is a dependency as well, so will need to consider "Legal A (no procurement)" and "Legal B (procurement)" Action: Review Legal document and comment as soon possible C. Timeline Chairs had dialogue with ICG Chairs. Indicated that CWG needs more time. ICG Chairs understand that but would like a new timeline proposal. We have started to review a timeline, keeping in ind the dependencies, and will propose this on Thursday next week. Would be useful to get an update to the draft by Singapore (to help with discussions) Action: Chairs to present revised timeline on next call. Action: all should start to think about questions for which we'd like to have feedback in Singapore (communities can discuss within their own meetings) 5.
