IFR: Public Comment has begun
by Amy Creamer Feb. 11, 2021

Feb. 11, 2021

Dear Review Team, Your Public Comment started yesterday on 10 February 2020 and will close on 22 March 2020: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/iana-naming-function-contract-amend-2… You will note that the subject of the Public Comment is focused on Recommendation 4, which requires an amendment to the IANA Naming Function Contract. The ICANN Bylaws are very detailed concerning IFR recommendations and when I was preparing for this Public Comment Legal determined two things: 1) unlike other reviews, the IFR is not obligated to post two Public Comments concerning your Report (whether Initial or Final) and 2) a Public Comment focusing on the contract amendment is required. We shifted the focus of the Public Comment to meet the Bylaws. However, for those who support having a second Public Comment concerning the whole Report, with this Public Comment the Community still has the opportunity to review your Final Report and provide input. As mentioned, the contract amendment recommendation has many Bylaw mandated steps – including asking the ccNSO Council and GNSO Council to approve it. Your co-chairs sent a letter to the Councils last week to set that in motion. I apologize that these factors were not taken into account before our last plenary call and appreciate your understanding so this review can be brought to a conclusion which satisfies the Bylaws. I will keep you updated on the GNSO & ccNSO Councils’ approvals; provide a comment report to you at the end of the Public Comment; and let you know when your Final Report is officially submitted to the ICANN Board. As we get closer to the end a doodle poll will be sent out to set up your post-mortem review of the first IFR.

IFR: Letter I need to send on your behalf to GNSO & ccNSO Councils
by Amy Creamer Feb. 4, 2021

Feb. 4, 2021

Hi Fred and Tomslin, Because Recommendation 4 requires an amendment to the IANA Naming Function Contract, the Bylaws require that the GNSO & ccNSO Councils approve it. This was actually built into our workplan from the beginning, but after some internal discussions I’ve discovered we can seek their approval before the Public Comment completes (I had originally planned on handling this after the Public Comment). So I have drafted a letter on your behalf and had Sam from Legal check it over. If you are able to review it and provide any comments, I will get it sent in time for the Councils to add it to their February meeting agendas (by working with Bart and Steve on the Policy team to coordinate this). I have attached it, or you can review the Google Doc version here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fbkLZmhf0d95STMeNqqYRZHJHOMn1Z2s/edit# Regards, Amy Creamer Sr. Project Manager Office of the Chief Technical Officer (OCTO) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN<http://www.icann.org/>) Mobile: +1 424-537-8917 Direct Line: +1 310-578-8910 Email: amy.creamer(a)icann.org

IFR: Last meeting notes; public comment coming soon
by Amy Creamer Feb. 2, 2021

Feb. 2, 2021

Hi Team, I am working on the next IFR Public Comment, and will notify you when it goes live. After re-reviewing the Bylaws, it was determined that a 2nd Public Comment on your report was not required for the IFR, as it is for other reviews. However, a Public Comment is necessary for the 4th recommendation that requires an amendment to the IANA Naming Function Contract (we had originally hoped the first Public Comment would be sufficient for Rec 4). Needless to say, the IFR Bylaws are complex. Attached are the last meeting notes, also posted to the wiki: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=155190624 Regards, Amy Creamer Sr. Project Manager Office of the Chief Technical Officer (OCTO) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN<http://www.icann.org/>) Mobile: +1 424-537-8917 Direct Line: +1 310-578-8910 Email: amy.creamer(a)icann.org

IFR: Initial Report Public Comment has ended
by Amy Creamer Dec. 10, 2020

Dec. 10, 2020

Hello IFRT, With the close of the Public Comment, the next step is to come together in another Plenary Meeting (Kim has sent out the meeting invite for 15 December) to review the comments and determine how to incorporate them into your Final Report. We received six (6) comments from various community groups, and all six recommended that the Board approve all four (4) of the recommendations on your Initial Report. Now to assist you with your next step, I have put all the comments we received into 1 document with a Table of Contents. On the first page I created a matrix to pull out the most important text from each of the comments, which you may find useful. I look forward to speaking to everyone again, but for those of you who are unable to attend the Plenary call, I wish you a Happy Holiday and will ensure everyone gets the meeting minutes.

From: IFRT <ifrt-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Amy Creamer <amy.creamer(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2020 at 01:07 To: "ifrt(a)icann.org" <ifrt(a)icann.org> Subject: [IFRT] IFR: Recommendation 4 - added language and webinar Hello IFRT Three (3) items: #1. The CSC provided us some feedback on Recommendation 4 by suggesting we add a bit more of an explanation. The last sentence in bold has been added to page 4 of the Initial Report<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10z8ABLYqcx6yFNmCKXIWXWIxTNzO7148/edit>: Recommendation Summary: In Article 7 Section 7.1 (a) the IFRT recommends that this statement "The relevant policies under which the changes are made shall be noted within each monthly report" be removed from the contract, as it is a legacy statement from the NTIA contract that is no longer required. Implementation of this requirement has long been recognized as being operationally impracticable, ever since the time of the NTIA contract, and the IFRT is satisfied that its continued inclusion in the bylaws adds no value to the reports. Because of this addition, the co-Chairs have decided to move the due date for dissents to this Friday, 2 October 2020. If you have any issues with the Report please email the co-Chairs or me by this Friday, otherwise it will be assumed you have approved the Initial Report. #2. There is NO plenary meeting tomorrow. Instead, at 17:00 Fred will be hosting the IFRT’s webinar concerning Recommendation 4. Here are tomorrow’s webinar details, if you would like to attend. (and the recording, etc., will be available on the IFRT wiki homepage shortly thereafter) Date: 29 September 2020 Time: 17:00 – 17:30 UTC Webinar Link: https://icann.zoom.us/j/96824197988?pwd=TGpISnFnck1TblpQdkthd0lHUzRxdz09 Passcode: IFRT_09/29 #3. Currently the co-chairs do not anticipate resuming Plenary Calls until after the initial Public Comment when the team will need to review received comments and prepare the Final Report. We will keep you updated on when the Public Comment is expected to open, the IFRT session during ICANN69 and when we expect to resume for the last few meetings.
