Fwd: [CWG-Stewardship] CWG - Discussion document for Singapore (PDF Version)

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

The enclosed is the discussion document for the IANA stewardship
transition at the SIN meeting.

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.

While we do have a specific NCSG-IANA list, it is coming time to reach
beyond that list to the membership.

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.

The models are:

_External Contract Co_ which is empowered to periodically hold an RFP
for the IANA function
_External Trust_ which hold a the contract in trust and can, on
instructions from a multistakeholder group decide to remove the function.

_IANA Internal_ with a nuclear option (sometime expressed as exploding
bolts) if something goes serious wrong
_Internal trust,_ similar to external trust except that ICANN itself
holds the trust.

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.

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.

Thanks

avri

All,

 

Please see attached for the final version of the CWG Discussion Document
for Singapore. Thank-you to all who contributed to the preparation and
refinement of the document.

 

We believe that we now have an excellent document, prepared in good
faith, that attempts to capture and summarise the considerable progress
made by this group to date. Moreover, we hope that this, together with
our other communication and interaction work, will provide the broader
community with a solid base to understand the work of the CWG to-date
and therefore, to effectively engage with us as we move ahead towards a
proposal.

 

We look forward to working with you over the next week or so on this
important phase of our work and for those who are travelling to
Singapore, safe travels and see you there.

 

Best wishes,

 


Jonathan & Lise

Co-chairs
