              <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"

                  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

              <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.
