Dear all, The notes, recordings and transcripts for the CWG IANA Meeting #72 on 3 December 2015 will be available here: https://community.icann.org/x/kbpYAw A copy of the notes and action items may be found below. Kind regards, Brenda Action Items Action: Trang to provide response to Greg on PTI legal status. Greg's assumption is that "ICANN Incorporates subsidiary" is not completely accurate since PTI is not designed legally as a subsidiary, but an affiliate. Possible change to the implementation plan to say "ICANN forms PTI affiliate" Action: Trang to review the timeline for PTI Part 1 slide (slide 9). Trang to include a line item for PTI Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Trang to provide answer about whether ICANN would be willing to take on drafting for CWG by early February. Action: Trang to communicate plan for IFR somewhere in the slide deck (so that it is not perceived as missed). Action: Client Committee to review plan for PTI implementation on next call. Unless serious objection from Sidley, the project will proceed as planned by ICANN. i.e. where ICANN will draft the Articles & Bylaws for review by the CWG with the assistance of Sidley. Action: IPR Document due to CWG on Friday 11 December. Action: Client Committee to instruct Sidley to produce a simplified version of the Bylaws. Action: Grace to share the framework with the CWG after the call. Include a covering note to indicate that this work is on hold pending the Client Committee assignment to Sidley. Action: Client Committee to instruct Sidley to assist with dependency tracking for the CCWG proposal. Notes Opening Remarks * Transition Program Facilitation Meeting (1 Dec). All meetings are archived here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transition-facilitation-2015-0923en. The main interest was the CCWG's document coming out for public comment and whether its Chartering Organizations could approve. A question was also raised regarding the names SLEs. * Operational communities met to discuss IANA IPR. There is some pressure on CWG to produce output as soon as possible, while noting that the CWG needs to complete its work in order for a joint solution to be discussed. * On letter to Chartering Organizations from CWG, no response was expected. ALAC reviewed the letter and agreed to an extension of the Charter for implementation. ccNSO needs to further discuss. GNSO has not formally settled on this issue yet. The GAC will provide more clarity shortly (current have some questions on CWG role towards ICG when it comes to implementation). * Next call will be on Tuesday 15 December at 16:00 UTC. Implementation Update from ICANN Staff (link to slides: <https://community.icann.org/x/msBYAw> https://community.icann.org/x/msBYAw) * Helpful feedback received last week from CWG. Any additional feedback is welcome. * ICANN Bylaws are targeted for drafting completion 4 weeks after proposal submission to NTIA. Project is on track. * Names SLEs: information (if usable) could be presented as soon as February. Project is on track. * IANA IPR project is not started. * RZMS Standing Committee project is not started. * IANA Operation Escalation Mechanisms project is not started. * The PTI project depends on how much NTIA can authorize prior to approval of the proposals. Timelines may shift * PTI Budget planning for FY17 is on track * ICANN has been working closely with RIRs to finalize their SLAs. For the IAB/IETF MoU, the parties are doing a final set of updates since the document was originally drafted in March. * IFR will be incorporated into the ICANN Bylaws. Its operationalization would be slated for post-transition since the first review is not expected to take place until 2 years after the transition. * On the CSC timing, this is staggered to ensure that not al of the projects are running at once. Action: Trang to provide response to Greg on PTI legal status. Greg's assumption is that "ICANN Incorporates subsidiary" is not completely accurate since PTI is not designed legally as a subsidiary, but an affiliate.

DT-A (SLEs) No update Bylaws * Sidley supplied a draft set of Bylaws on 7 November * We went through the slides at the last CWG meeting. The group agreed to have Sidley work on a simplified version of the Bylaws. At the same time, the group was going to go through the questions from Sidley and provide responses. * Staff prepared a framework for the work on responses to Sidley, but the questions might not all be needed at this time, if Sidley were to redraft the Bylaws. Action: Client Committee to instruct Sidley to produce a simplified version of the Bylaws. Action: Grace to share the framework with the CWG after the call.
