lang="EN-CA">CWG-Stewardship proposed response to
the ICG RFP the IANA Stewardship Transition</span></b><span
style="color:black" lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"
lang="EN-CA">The Cross Community Working Group on
Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) is pleased
to provide its Chartering Organizations with its
proposed response to the IANA Stewardship Transition
Coordination Group (ICG) Request for Proposals on the
IANA Stewardship Transition for your consideration and
approval as per its Charter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"
lang="EN-CA">The response is the result of extensive
work by the CWG’s 19 members, 133 participants and a
team of highly qualified legal advisors over the past
year, which included over 100 calls or meetings, 2
public consultations and more than 4,000 email
messages. It represents a carefully crafted balance
between key requirements, specific legal advice, and
significant compromises by all who participated and
includes diligent attention to the input received
through the Public Comment proceedings. The final
proposal has received the consensus support of the
CWG-Stewardship with no objections or minority
statements recorded for Chartering Organization
consideration.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"
lang="EN-CA">As noted in the CWG-Stewardship proposal
itself, the proposal is significantly dependent and
expressly conditioned on the implementation of
ICANN-level accountability mechanisms proposed by the
Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability (CCWG-Accountability). The co-chairs of
the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability have
coordinated their efforts and the CWG-Stewardship is
confident that the CCWG-Accountability
recommendations, if implemented as expected, will meet
the requirements that the CWG-Stewardship has
previously communicated to the CCWG. If any element of
these ICANN level accountability mechanisms is not
implemented as contemplated by the CWG-Stewardship
proposal, this proposal will require revision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"
lang="EN-CA">We also note that there are certain
implementation elements that will require further
dialogue in the near future, including with the other
operational communities, and these have been marked as
such in the final proposal. Two specific issues are
particularly important to highlight. One is the
finalization of the service level expectations (SLEs),
where the proposal includes a set of agreed principles
between the CWG and IANA, but these remain to be
finalized in the form of a mutually agreed set of
SLEs. A detailed plan for this finalisation is being
worked on and it is our view that this detail, whilst
vitally important, does not impact on the substance of
the proposal put to you for approval. The second issue
entails the location of intellectual property rights
and this needs further discussion with the other
respondents to the ICG RFP and ICANN.
