Hi,<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
The enclosed is the discussion document for the IANA stewardship
transition at the SIN meeting.<br class="">
<br class="">
At this point, while legal details are missing on the issues (you
will notice how we are going out for legal opinions) it is
probably a good time to start discussing the issues in the NCSG.
As the NCSG member on the transition team, at some point I will
have to switch from arguing my own personal view, to arguing for
an NCSG position. That is something I won't be able to do until
we have a had a serious NCSG discussion about it, mostly on on
this list, but in various online and other meetings.<br class="">
<br class="">
While we do have a specific NCSG-IANA list, it is coming time to
reach beyond that list to the membership.<br class="">
<br class="">
So please, take some time, ask questions and jump into the
discussion. Please notice that the attachment outlines the 4
model under discussion. The models have similarity and all
include the notion of separability: the ability to remove the IANA
function from ICANN to another service provider if necessary,
without an obligation for separation unless necessary.<br class="">
<br class="">
The models are:<br class="">
<br class="">
<u class="">External Contract Co</u> which is empowered to periodically
hold an RFP for the IANA function<br class="">
<u class="">External Trust</u> which hold a the contract in trust and can,
on instructions from a multistakeholder group decide to remove the
function.<br class="">
<br class="">
<u class="">IANA Internal</u> with a nuclear option (sometime expressed as
exploding bolts) if something goes serious wrong<br class="">
<u class="">Internal trust,</u> similar to external trust except that ICANN
itself holds the trust.<br class="">
<br class="">
There are various NCSG members who have been participating in the
CWG-IANA work and we have different personal views of which model
is best - each of the models may have its champion among the NCSG
participants. I happen to support some form of the External
Trust, but as I say will, if and when the time comes for a
consensus call, support the model that appears to have NCSG
consensus. Once the discussion starts you will find that among
those of us participating in the work, there are strong opinions
that do not always agree. but that is hardly surprising for our
Stakeholder group.<br class="">
<br class="">
After the Singapore meeting I will be happy to hold as many
teleconferences as necessary to give everyone who is interested in
talking about this the chance to do so.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks<br class="">
<br class="">
