I had an action item from Singapore:
2. Arkko to do write up of jurisdiction and NTIA oversight in the Protocol parameters operational community.
The description for the action item is a bit brief, but my understanding at the meeting was that we had two kinds of questions for the IETF proposal, the first being ones that the community needs to be asked about. We send one such question to the IETF/RIR community. But the second type was requests for further information that can be provided by us or by reference to other, existing materials. These are typically for clarification. The way that I understood my task was that I was expected to list these questions and provide a written answer, having provided brief answers earlier in the discussion and in the meeting. However, this overlaps with the list that we already got from Jennifer. The main items on my list were: 1. What is the situation with enhancements to the agreements between IETF and ICANN? 2. Can you explain what jurisdiction applies for the IETF’s arrangements with regards to IANA and ICANN? 3. Can you explain what oversight, if any, NTIA currently has over the protocol parameters? I believe the latter two questions were already in Jennifer’s table, and I don’t think we need to do more. Does anyone think we need to do more? I can write some additional text, but if it is needed please point out what you would like to see in that text. In any case, the first question is not in Jennifer’s list, and I would suggest adding it to the table: 1. What is the situation with enhancements to the agreements between IETF and ICANN? Answer: The IETF and ICANN update the SLA on a yearly basis. These updates typically specify things that we have together identified as being useful additional or changed procedures. For instance, in the previous SLA in early 2014, a clause was added for performing a 3rd party audit that policies are correctly being followed when performing the IANA function. Most recent SLA can be found on the IETF web site (http://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/2014-ICANN-IETF-MoU-Supplemental-Agreement-Ex...). Now in 2015 the IETF and ICANN are again updating the SLA and are currently in the process of negotiations. The responsible party on the IETF side is the IAOC. IAOC’s roles and structure is defined in RFC 4071 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4071.txt). The parties will provide updates when there is something to report. The IETF general procedure is to keep the SLA as up to date as the current view of IETF requirements is, addressing needs that have come up during the ongoing SLA period.
