Chris – thanks for volunteering. We all know that time is very tight so I want to outline how I think we could best optimize our time and energy.

As you know there are three main components to the current CWG proposal for the IANA functions: Contract Co; CSC and the MRT, setting the IAP aside, at least for the moment. I propose that we focus on a variant of the CWG option which does not have, at least immediately, a ‘Contract Co’, but rather relies on some set of ‘triggers’ to create the separation of the IANA function from ICANN. My hope is that we can develop a single proposal for discussion purposes and in this fashion, catch up to the work that has already been done on the full CWG proposal. With such a focus on ‘no Contract Co’ we may also be able to set aside, again, at least for the moment, the CSC and the MRT as I believe there is a high degree of consensus that the functions that these two entities would perform are needed, that is operational oversight and periodic review respectively.

The ALAC proposal kept the CSC and MRT to a large extent similar to what they were in the CWG proposal, largely to diffuse criticism that we had not provided sufficient detail. In fact, in an internal-to-ICANN solution, these dobies will likely be MUCH easier to bring into being and the "MRT" has far less to do in a steady state operation. So our work will not likely have the volume of the CWG proposal, nor will it need it. Alan

This may seem to be a daunting task, but I would remind you that the core of the CWG proposal ran to only just 7 pages in the December 1 proposal. I think that together we can put something credible together in a reasonable amount of time.

It would be very helpful if the communities and organizations who had significant concerns with Contract Co and who also sought the development of such a proposal could actively participate as I fear it would lack credibility without them. I am speaking in particular of auDA, SIDN, Google and ALAC. If I have missed centring anyone out, you are still welcome to volunteer!

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
