Hi,<br>
<br>
This is the current draft of the cross community working group for
IANA stewardship transition (CWG-Stewardship). There are a few more
sections that need to be completed before it goes out for ICANN
community review.<br>
<br>
Some of the issues under active discussion include:<br>
<br>
- The scope of issues that the Customer Standing Committee can raise
for escalation:<br>
Ie. is it just Registry SLA issues or does it include other issues
like:<br>
-- security and stability issues<br>
-- root server stability issues<br>
-- inconsistencies between established policy and IANA
implementation<br>
<br>
- How often does the Multistakeholder Periodic review team need to
meet and what is its scope. E.g is it the decsion maker on new
contracts.<br>
<br>
- What sort of entity is the Company Co.. I.e. Is it a staffless
volunteer entity that decides/signs the contract with the IANA
function operators, or it a minimal entity with an administrator or
two that is responsible for neutral administering the contract and
perhaps a few other details like, e,g, the Root Zone Management
Process
Administrator as that is a clerical staff function.<br>
<br>
- Is there a regular open bid (RFP) for the IANA contract on a cycle
of a per-determend number of years. Or is there a presumption of
renewal and an RFP is only issue in the case of a substantial
failure by the operator.<br>
<br>
- Who has standing to take an issue to the Independent Appeals
Panel?<br>
<br>
- is the functional division on pages 25-26 and pictured on page 32
(mentioned above) the accepted split?<br>
<br>
- At this point there seems to be an acceptance that whatever the
process, the IANA function will remain with ICANN at least for now.<br>
<br>
Over the next few days we will be discussing these issues and
completing the uncompleted sections. It will then go out for
review.<br>
<br>
As always happy to get comments. NCSG has several participants who
have been quite active in the process including Amr, Matt, Milton
with me as the formal member.<br>

Subject: The Cross Community Working Group (CWG) on Naming Related Functions
- Initial Draft of Proposal
Dear All,
Following on from the Chairs' Statement
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-11-20-en"><https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2014-11-20-en></a> on Frankfurt
Face-to-Face Meeting, we are pleased to attach an initial draft of the
Proposal from the Cross Community Working Group (CWG) on Naming Related
Functions.
Whilst this draft follows from two full days of work in Frankfurt, as well
as significant teleconference and e-mail communications, it remains work in
progress and reflects the work of the CWG to date. Our target is, of course,
to ultimately respond in full to the IANA Stewardship Transition
Coordination Group (ICG) request for proposals
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-iana-stewardship-08sep14-en.pdf"><https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rfp-iana-stewardship-08sep14-en
.pdf></a> .
We envisage discussing this draft during the meeting of the CWG at 11h00 UTC
tomorrow and additionally on the CWG's email list/s. The short term
objective is to get a revised draft version of this proposal prepared and
in circulation for public comment on or by 1 December 2014.
Thank you for giving this the attention it deserves to receive and we look
forward to working with you to further develop this draft prposal.
Yours sincerely,
Jonathan Robinson and Lise Fuhr
Co-chairs, Cross Community Working Group (CWG) on Naming Related Functions
