Re: [Internal-cg] ICG FAQ ..

Manal, Many thanks to you and your colleagues on the committee for drafting the FAQ. Question #4 quotes SAC 067 in answer to ³What are the IANA functions? ³ I do not dispute that SAC-067 is a well written and informative document. I do think a better reference document would be NTIA¹s contract, SA1301-12-RP-IANA, which defines the IANA functions over which NTIA has stewardship. For example, NTIA¹s description of the functions in the contract (C.1.1) states: ³The US Department of Commerce (DoC), National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has initiated this contract to maintain the continuity and stability of services related to certain interdependent Internet technical management functions, known collectively as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)." In particular Section C.2.9 of the IANA functions contract describes the functions for which NTIA is a steward. The contract is easily found on NTIA¹s website: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/page/iana-functions-purchase-order or on the ICANN website: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/contract-01oct12-en.pdf Best regards, -- Elise From: Manal Ismail <manal(a)tra.gov.eg> Date: Monday, September 29, 2014 at 11:16 AM To: "internal-cg(a)icann.org" <internal-cg(a)icann.org> Subject: [Internal-cg] ICG FAQ .. > Dear All .. > > Please find attached, and in dropbox, a draft FAQ we (Martin, Patrik, Mohamed, > Alissa & myself) have prepared to be discussed on the upcoming call .. > This is supposed to be a living document ..

Are some of the questions more suite to ICANN accountability? They are obviously relevant to us, but I'm no sure we lead on all these issues? ----- Original Message ----- From: manal(a)tra.gov.eg To: paf(a)frobbit.se, kavouss.arasteh(a)gmail.com Cc: internal-cg(a)icann.org Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 5:01:54 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [Internal-cg] ICG FAQ .. Many thanks Mr. Arasteh for your feedback .. I have to agree with Patrik that it would be extremely helpful if you can suggest concrete questions and answers .. Furthermore, I believe the excellent points you raise below should be addressed through the proposals we are expecting to receive .. I do not think we should pre-empt what the community will ultimately reach and express views through this FAQ .. Your questions also tackle issues that are being handled through other processes, e.g. the ICANN accountability process .. Hope the above provides a satisfactory explanation as to why we did not include questions along your below suggestions ..

Invitation to the IETF meeting in Honolulu
by Jari Arkko Sept. 29, 2014

Sept. 29, 2014

All, As you know, our next meeting at the IETF is coming up, November 9-14 in Honolulu. We will have many interesting topics on the agenda, including a meeting of the IANAPLAN working group. Also, as you may know, for several years we have had a program that brings people from policy and regulator spaces to IETF meetings. This is an ISOC program and part of their support for the IETF. The goal of the program is to connect engineering and policy worlds better together. The program usually consists of introductory sessions, discussion with experts on specific areas (for instance, we talked about IANA at length with the previous group in Toronto), and participation in the working group sessions. We were initially not planning to do this in Honolulu, but we have now decided to invite a small group. Given the ongoing discussion about transition, we thought that some of you might be interested. The meeting runs for the full week, but in the policy guest group we always focus on the first part of the week (Sun-Wed). If you have not been to an IETF meeting before, have an ability to attend, and would be interested, please contact Sally Wentworth <wentworth(a)isoc.org> for details. Limited travel support may also be available.

Public session at ICANN 51?
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 29, 2014

Sept. 29, 2014

I know you’re all getting tired of emails from me, but I have a question (well, a few questions) … Should the ICG host a public session at ICANN 51, to provide a status update and hear from the community? (My answer: yes.) How long should the session be? 90 minutes? I’m asking now because we need to start working with the ICANN 51 agenda folks if we want to make it happen. Thanks, Alissa

worth noting
by Milton L Mueller Sept. 29, 2014

Sept. 29, 2014

A complaint has been filed against the names community's working group. http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00011.html Alissa made some similar comments on the IETF ianaplan list. Although I have publicly explained why they set it up that way, frankly I find the CWG Structure hard to defend. I wonder whether others more closely involved with the IANA CWG chartering process could explain whether it is possible to make some amendments. The group is slow enough to form as it is, I tremble at the thought of amendments that would lead to further delays, but it might actually save time if it prevents challenges to its legitimacy further down the road.

Agenda items for Oct 1 call
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 25, 2014

Sept. 25, 2014

For the Oct 1 call, I think we have a few potential agenda items: * Minutes approval for Sept 17 call * Review ICANN 51 schedule and logistics * Discussion of FAQ These are contingent on documents becoming available for review before the call, so we can adjust this if necessary next week. My hope is that we will have a draft FAQ available for review and that will take the bulk of the time on the call. Alissa

Here is the provisional schedule for ICANN 51: Meeting with ALAC [1] Tuesday, 14 October 15:45-16:45 PT Room: Olympic https://community.icann.org/x/TMLhAg http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/tue-alac-work-ii (Unconfirmed) Meeting with GAC [1] Wednesday, 15 October 10:30-11:30 PT Location TBC Community Discussion with the ICG [2] Thursday, 16 October 10:00-12:00 PT Room: Los Angeles http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-icg-community ICG Dinner Thursday, 16 October 20:15-22:00 PT Location TBC ICG Mtg #3 [3] Friday, 17 October 09:00-17:30 PT Room: Westside http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/fri-icg [1] I have reached out individually to ICG members off-list to ensure that we have people at each of these meetings who can speak about the processes being used to develop the names, numbers, and protocol parameters proposals, respectively, and how to participate in those processes. Participation from the rest of the ICG members is desirable but not required if you have scheduling conflicts. I have also reached out to CWG folks to see if a CWG-ICG meeting might be arranged and will share more information when I have it. [2] Patrik is working on the agenda for this session. [3] Patrik, Mohamed, and I will share a draft agenda for this meeting prior to the start of ICANN 51. Alissa

Social gathering at ICANN 51
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 25, 2014

Sept. 25, 2014

Mohamed, Patrik and I were thinking it might be nice to set aside some time for ICG members to gather socially during ICANN 51, outside of our scheduled meeting time. We’d like to propose a gathering in the evening on Thursday, October 16 (the night before our face-to-face meeting). Questions for the group: Are you in favor of a social gathering? Would you prefer that we each cover our own costs individually, or that ICANN cover the whole group’s costs (budget permitting)? Feel free to respond to me off-list for privacy reasons if you’d prefer, on-list otherwise. Thanks, Alissa

Comments for the operational communities
by Alissa Cooper Sept. 24, 2014

Sept. 24, 2014

We have received a set of comments that I think would be appropriate for us to re-direct to all of the operational community processes: http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00009.html I can take care of sending them to the IETF IANAPLAN working group. Adiel/Paul/Hartmut, could one of you forward these to the RIRs? Could I get a volunteer from the naming community to forward them to the CWG? Thanks, Alissa
