Heads up on Secretariat function
Hello all, As heads on the work for contracting an independent secretariat, the discussion is ongoing with ICANN procurement team to finalise the RfP inline with there practices and policy. I had a conference call with Viveck the Head of ICANN procurement team end of last week and we agree to have the RfP released by the end of this week and have the secretariat contracted before LA meeting. A new mailing list has been setup for this (SecretariatForICG-rfp@icann.org) which will be used for proposal submission and discussion of the sub-committee (currently made of Myself, Daniel, Russ and Patrik as Vice-Chair to whom the followup on this task has been assigned). As per ICANN process there will be a need to publish before the actual RfP, a call for Expression of Interest (EoI) to know in advance who is planing to respond to the RfP (this facilitate further communication if needed). The text proposed for the call for EoI is straight forward and past bellow for your information (same as what is in the introductory text of the RfP document in Dropbox). This EoI is planned to be published today or tomorrow and run till the 7th. —— ICANN will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a successful bidder and enter into a contractual agreement with a suitable contractor to perform a secretariat function for the IANA stewardship transition Coordination Group (ICG). The ICG is setup by ICANN and composed of representatives from different stakeholders groups to coordinate and deliver a proposal single proposal to the U.S National Telecommunication and Information Administration Department (NTIA) regarding the transition of NTIA’s stewardship role of the IANA function (currently preformed by ICANN) to a Multistakeholder mechanism. For more information about the ICG and its role please visit: https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship/coordination-group If you are interested in bidding for this proposal please send an Expression of Intent (EoI) to SecretariatForICG-rfp@icann.org by 07 September 2014 The Expression of Interest shall provide the Name of Organisation your organisation and your Contact details. ——— Thanks. - a.
Dear colleagues, I think it is very important that we be clear about the independence of this group, as I believe that will serve the transition and all of us very well downstream. In that vein, could we publish this as a more direct effort of the ICG? The fact that we are working through ICANN's procurement processes is really a detail. Again, I am drawing from how ISOC manages its relationship with the IETF - and they always put the IETF front and center when it was *their* work. It would not require alot of changes.. maybe something like: "The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a suitable contractor to perform its secretariat function. This is in response to the announcement by the US Government of its intent to transition key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community. The ICG was established as a result of a broad community consultation and for more information about the ICG and its role, please visit: https://www.icann.org/en/stewardship/coordination-group" Thoughts?

Dear Lynn, you make some interesting points. Just a few remarks: - Whereas the IETF has an organic link to ISOC, the same cannot be said to the ICG in relation to ICANN. This has legal and financial implications. - The ICG can of course issue a RFP. But as the actual contract will be signed between ICANN and an external entity, would it not be more accurate to say, e.g. "Persuant to the announcement by the US (NTIA) about its intent to transition the IANA functions to the multistakeholder Internet community, the ICG will draft a Request For Proposal, to guide ICANN in recruiting a suitable contractor to perform secretarial functions for the ICG." - I suggest "secretariat functions", because some other secretariat functions will be retained by ICANN Staff, e.g. travel arrangements and budget. - The link providing information about the ICG is welcome.

Yes, specially the legal implication is the main reason why through out the actual RfP document that I have drafted ICANN has been mentioned as the “owner” of the process. I have however ask ICANN if this can be accommodated by their process.
- The ICG can of course issue a RFP. But as the actual contract will be signed between ICANN and an external entity, would it not be more accurate to say, e.g. “Persuant to the announcement by the US (NTIA) about its intent to transition the IANA functions to the multistakeholder Internet community, the ICG will draft a Request For Proposal, to guide ICANN in recruiting a suitable contractor to perform secretarial functions for the ICG."
I’m not sure we want to say this in the actual RfP, specially mentioning the drafting part (I will see that in the Secretariat definition document of the ICG itself). The RfP should be clear and straightforward for the applicants. They have to feel stability so to be confident to engage.
- I suggest “secretariat functions", because some other secretariat functions will be retained by ICANN Staff, e.g. travel arrangements and budget.
Ok.
- The link providing information about the ICG is welcome.

Thank you Adiel, and a sincere thank you to ICANN for accommodating this. We maximize the chance of a successful outcome if we are always clear that this process is operating under community leadership. Best, Lynn On Sep 2, 2014, at 3:33 AM, Adiel Akplogan <adiel@afrinic.net> wrote:
