Dear Yuko
Regarding the comments made by Paul Kane on section 4,7 - n/a in the Naming Function Agreement Review document.
- Section 4.7 and subsequent is formulated as a general reference to relevant and equivalent policies that must be considered by the contractor. Special reference to *section 1.3* , - and the *“where applicable”* in connection with the GAC principles in section 4.7 and subsequent is unbalanced in this context - the contractor will have to consider and substantiate the relevance of all mentioned/listed policies in its decisions and actions. So, in short form - I don’t agree with the adding of “”were applicable” or special reference to any subsection of the referenced documents such as section 1.3 of the GAC principles.
4.7
2. The reference to the GAC Principles should read: “Where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the 2005 Governmental Advisory Committee Principles and Guidelines for the Delgation and Administration of Country Code Top Level Domains (“GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles”).
We’d like to understand more about the need for specific reference to Section 1.3. We are interested in accommodating this request, but need a bit more information.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.

Any subsequent reference to the GAC Principles should read, “where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles.”
See above.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.

RFC 1591 is generally applicable policy that applies (at a minimum) to all ccTLDs delegated since its promulgation in 1994. On the other hand, the GAC Principles (2005) are not, as the GAC text clearly sets out, principles that IANA can apply absent the agreement of the relevant government and the ccTLD manager. Rather, as the text of the GAC Principles (2005) explicitly provide: 1.3. These principles are intended as a guide to the relationships between Governments, their ccTLD and ICANN. They are not intended to be binding and need both Governments and Registries voluntarily to agree to apply them within their legal framework.

Dear Yuko
Regarding the comments made by Paul Kane on section 4,7 - n/a in the Naming Function Agreement Review document.
- Section 4.7 and subsequent is formulated as a general reference to relevant and equivalent policies that must be considered by the contractor. Special reference to section 1.3 , - and the ³where applicable² in connection with the GAC principles in section 4.7 and subsequent is unbalanced in this context - the contractor will have to consider and substantiate the relevance of all mentioned/listed policies in its decisions and actions. So, in short form - I don¹t agree with the adding of ³²were applicable² or special reference to any subsection of the referenced documents such as section 1.3 of the GAC principles.
4.7
2. The reference to the GAC Principles should read: ³Where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the 2005 Governmental Advisory Committee Principles and Guidelines for the Delgation and Administration of Country Code Top Level Domains (³GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles²).
We¹d like to understand more about the need for specific reference to Section 1.3. We are interested in accommodating this request, but need a bit more information.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.

Hi all, Becky is completely correct in her statement below. 1. The GAC developed what they refer to as their "Principles and Guidelines for the Delegation and Administration of Country Code Top Level Domains" - and it is impossible to determine what the GAC considered what might be an actual policy principle, and what might be a guideline. In any case, the paper has never been through any formal ICANN Policy process, and there is no consensus from the community as to its adoption. 2. The Preamble of these GAC Principles and Guidelines states as 1.1 "The purpose of this document is to set out a general framework of principles and guidelines for the relationship between national governments, the Registry of the country code associated with that country, and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). However, the situation varies significantly between countries. This framework is intended to help establish, not constrain or dictate, the development of the three-way relationship. Governments, country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Registries and ICANN share the responsibility for ensuring a Domain Name System that is stable, secure, open, and easily accessible." So right from the outset, it is an encouragement to engage in dialogue between ICANN, the ccTLD operator and the relevant Government 3. As Becky points out below, these GAC Principles can (as per 1.3 of the document) only ever apply bindingly when the Government, the ccTLD and the Government agree they should. This statement also validates that existing ccTLD operations remain valid if any party refuses to accept the GAC Principles. 4. The work of the FOI Working Group and its predecessor Delegations and Redelegations Working Group examined many documents which attempted to codify policies relating to ccTLD management, including several RFC's, some ICANN created documents, and the two versions of the GAC Principles (from 2000 and 2005). These Working Groups were cross-constituency groups within ICANN, and included multiple members of the GAC constituency amongst the groups. The clear decisions of the Working Groups were that RFC1591 provided the founding policy principles for ccTLD Delegation and Redelegation, and that some useful guidance and enhancement of the understanding of RFC1591 could be derived from the guidelines included in the 2005 GAC Principles. But it must be clearly understood that clause 1.3 of the GAC Principles does confine the applicability to those instances where there is a 3 way agreement between the Government, the ccTLD and ICANN 5. One aspect that seriously needs to be considered in this is the lack of clarity in many instances over who is (or is not) the valid Government of a country. A useful example might be Antarctica, where at least 13 different Governments claim some form of sovereignty. Which of these Governments is the proper authority for the operation of the .aq ccTLD ? Section 4.2 of RFC 1591 contains the powerful assertion that "The IANA is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country". Recognising that many wars have been fought over the "lines in the sand" that provide jurisdictional demarcation points is an important high level principle. 6. The ICANN Board has recognised the Framework of Interpretation, and is implementing its recommendations as part of its IANA responsibilities. The FoI develops some colour and depth on some of the vagueness of RFC1591, while at the same time, does not seek to create any new policy. The FOI has referred back to the ccNSO that there is need for policy development in some specific areas of ccTLD administration, most particularly the "Retirement" of a ccTLD and an Appeals Mechanism where there is dissent on a delegation / redelegation decision - as RFC1591 is largely silent on these topics. I hope this clarifies the thinking, and apologise for the long-winded post, but it is important for the CWG group to have a clear understanding of the issues, and status of these items.

Dear Yuko
Regarding the comments made by Paul Kane on section 4,7 - n/a in the Naming Function Agreement Review document.
- Section 4.7 and subsequent is formulated as a general reference to relevant and equivalent policies that must be considered by the contractor. Special reference to section 1.3 , - and the ³where applicable² in connection with the GAC principles in section 4.7 and subsequent is unbalanced in this context - the contractor will have to consider and substantiate the relevance of all mentioned/listed policies in its decisions and actions. So, in short form - I don¹t agree with the adding of ³²were applicable² or special reference to any subsection of the referenced documents such as section 1.3 of the GAC principles.
4.7
2. The reference to the GAC Principles should read: ³Where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the 2005 Governmental Advisory Committee Principles and Guidelines for the Delgation and Administration of Country Code Top Level Domains (³GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles²).
We¹d like to understand more about the need for specific reference to Section 1.3. We are interested in accommodating this request, but need a bit more information.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.
n/a
Any subsequent reference to the GAC Principles should read, ³where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles.²
See above.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.

Dear Keith, CWG colleagues I think this CWG-discussions on purpose of documents and different subsection of policies shows exactly why we should leave it clean in the Naming Function Agreement, - with a general reference to relevant policies without subsections. I`m not arguing on the meaning of the preamble of the GAC principles, complex and significantly differences between countries regarding relations between national governments and CC registries, the intention of the FOI to codify policies relating to ccTLD management and so on... - It's about the formulation and shape of the Naming Function Agreement, and the fact that it's the Contractor that must consider and substantiate the relevance of listed policies - possibly with delicate cross-references to relevant subsections. Since we can't foresee all complexity and variations in future cases the Contractor have to deal with,we shouldn't try to balance this out on behalf of the Contractor at this stage.

The GAC developed what they refer to as their "Principles and Guidelines for the Delegation and Administration of Country Code Top Level Domains" - and it is impossible to determine what the GAC considered what might be an actual policy principle, and what might be a guideline. In any case, the paper has never been through any formal ICANN Policy process, and there is no consensus from the community as to its adoption. 2. The Preamble of these GAC Principles and Guidelines states as 1.1 "The purpose of this document is to set out a general framework of principles and guidelines for the associated with that country, and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). However, the situation varies significantly between countries. This framework is intended to help establish, not constrain or dictate, the development of the three-way relationship. Governments, country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Registries and ICANN share the responsibility for ensuring a Domain Name System that is stable, secure, open, and easily accessible." So right from the outset, it is an encouragement to engage in dialogue between ICANN, the ccTLD operator and the relevant Government 3. As Becky points out below, these GAC Principles can (as per 1.3 of the document) only ever apply bindingly when the Government, the ccTLD and the Government agree they should. This statement also validates that existing ccTLD operations remain valid if any party refuses to accept the GAC Principles. 4. The work of the FOI Working Group and its predecessor Delegations and Redelegations Working Group examined many documents which attempted to codify policies relating to ccTLD management, including several RFC's, some ICANN created documents, and the two versions of the GAC Principles (from 2000 and 2005). These Working Groups were cross-constituency groups within ICANN, and included multiple members of the GAC constituency amongst the groups. The clear decisions of the Working Groups were that RFC1591 provided the founding policy principles for ccTLD Delegation and Redelegation, and that some useful guidance and enhancement of the understanding of RFC1591 could be derived from the guidelines included in the 2005 GAC Principles. But it must be clearly understood that clause 1.3 of the GAC Principles does confine the applicability to those instances where there is a 3 way agreement between the Government, the ccTLD and ICANN 5. One aspect that seriously needs to be considered in this is the lack of clarity in many instances over who is (or is not) the valid Government of a country. A useful example might be Antarctica, where at least 13 different Governments claim some form of sovereignty. Which of these Governments is the proper authority for the operation of the .aq ccTLD ? Section 4.2 of RFC 1591 contains the powerful assertion that "The IANA is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country". Recognising that many wars have been fought over the "lines in the sand" that provide jurisdictional demarcation points is an important high level principle. 6. The ICANN Board has recognised the Framework of Interpretation, and is implementing its recommendations as part of its IANA responsibilities. The FoI develops some colour and depth on some of the vagueness of RFC1591, while at the same time, does not seek to create any new policy. The FOI has referred back to the ccNSO that there is need for policy development in some specific areas of ccTLD administration, most particularly the "Retirement" of a ccTLD and an Appeals Mechanism where there is dissent on a delegation / redelegation decision - as RFC1591 is largely silent on these topics. I hope this clarifies the thinking, and apologise for the long-winded post, but it is important for the CWG group to have a clear understanding of the issues, and status of these items.

Dear Yuko
Regarding the comments made by Paul Kane on section 4,7 - n/a in the Naming Function Agreement Review document.
- Section 4.7 and subsequent is formulated as a general reference to relevant and equivalent policies that must be considered by the contractor. Special reference to section 1.3 , - and the “where applicable” in connection with the GAC principles in section 4.7 and subsequent is unbalanced in this context - the contractor will have to consider and substantiate the relevance of all mentioned/listed policies in its decisions and actions. So, in short form - I don’t agree with the adding of “”were applicable” or special reference to any subsection of the referenced documents such as section 1.3 of the GAC principles.
4.7
2. The reference to the GAC Principles should read: “Where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the 2005 Governmental Advisory Committee Principles and Guidelines for the Delgation and Administration of Country Code Top Level Domains (“GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles”).
We’d like to understand more about the need for specific reference to Section 1.3. We are interested in accommodating this request, but need a bit more information.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.
n/a
Any subsequent reference to the GAC Principles should read, “where applicable in accordance with Section 1.3 thereof, the GAC 2005 ccTLD Principles.”
See above.
ICANN would like more information regarding the need for specific reference to Section 1.3.
