I have just been informed that the Word document I shared was intended for internal use. Please don't share it outside the Caucus. ICANN is removing my email from the archive. I didn't know there was a concern, but please feel free to blame me if you need someone to be upset with.

As requested by Paul Hoffman, I'm sharing the request that ICANN's Asia-Pacific team sent to the RSSAC, and the slides that I plan to share with that event. I recorded a presentation this morning, and ICANN's Asia team will add Mandarin subtitles to help our Chinese colleagues to follow the presentation. For the record, this presentation derives from the RSSAC Tutorial shared at ICANN meetings the past several years, and the discussion of the evolution work presented to the GAC about a year ago. There is nothing confidential about the information we are sharing, nor should any of it be a surprise. There is, however, some sensitivity around authority; I can, of course, speak to the RSSAC and to ISC's issues. Much of my point in this talk is that important parts are managed by the IANA, are enacted by the ICANN Board, or are deferred to the GWG; in a perfect world, these agencies would speak for themselves, but that would be a difficult dance. So I will identify the action and the actor, and that RSSAC is not authoritative (as in, "if you have detailed questions, you should really talk with them").
