Subject: Re: [client com] ICANN-PTI Naming Functions Agreement & Services Agreement Headers Client Committee -- Attached is a further revised draft of Sidley’s comments to the Naming Functions Agreement. For convenience, we have included a clean Word version, a cumulative PDF redline against the ICANN draft, and an internal redline against the version we sent yesterday. Please note, we have not undertaken a formal review of the Naming Functions Agreement against Annex C. We are looking for guidance from the CWG as to whether the provisions that the CWG drafted to implement Annex C (as described in the Implementation Proposal dated June 9, 2016) will be incorporated in the bylaws or the naming function agreement. Once this determination is made, we can ensure that the provisions are appropriately documented, if requested.

Hi Lise Thanks for giving us a preview of the Naming Functions Agreement. I have not read the detail of the Naming Agreement yet but I do see that there is frequent reference to the GAC Principles relating to ccTLDs. i) the ICANN Board has never adopted the advise given in the GAC Principles 2005; ii) The Framework of Interpretation ( https://features.icann.org/adoption-framework-interpretation-cctld-delegatio... ) for ccTLD Delegations and Redelegations which was developed by Framework of Interpretation Working Group (FOIWG) and reviewed by CCNSO and considered by the GAC and approved by the ICANN Board on Thu, 25 Jun 2015 - Resolution Number: 2015.06.25.07 2015.06.25.08 specifically says "certain documents including the GAC Principles 2000 (which the GAC superseded in 2005)..... should be archived and considered no longer used by ICANN staff." However I note in the Naming Functions Agreement there are multiple references to the GAC Principles..... which obviously should not be cited. I assume that references to the GAC Principles will be removed as in ICANN's own words they ..... "should be archived and considered no longer used by ICANN staff."

Dear all Just to provide some clarification on one thing: the 2005 GAC ccTLD Principles remain a standing advice of the GAC. What was superseded (by GAC itself) were the 2000 GAC Principles. When commenting on the FOI, in its Singapore Communique of 2015, the GAC made specific reference to its 2005 Principles: “4. Framework of Interpretation Working Group (FOIWG) Report The GAC notes the work of the ccNSO FOIWG, and its efforts to provide interpretive clarity to RFC1591. The GAC welcomes the FOIWG’s recognition that, consistent with the GAC’s 2005 Principles, the ultimate authority on public policy issues relating to ccTLDs is the relevant government. As such, nothing in the FOIWG report should be read to limit or constrain applicable law and governmental decisions, or the IANA operator´s ability to act in line with a request made by the relevant government.” I would be reluctant to "relitigate" such issues in this venue.

Headers received from ICANN was in PDF only, we converted to Word and
