[Update] IANA Function Review Team

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Hi all,

I hope you all are keeping well, especially at this crazy time the world
finds itself.

As the NCSG representative and also the GNSO appointed co-chair to the IANA
Naming Function Review Team (IFRT), I wanted to give you an update of the
work that the IFRT has been doing. The IFR is one of the new accountability
mechanisms created as part of the IANA stewardship transition to ensure
that Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) meets the needs and expectations of
its naming customers.

We had a slow start but I am happy to inform you that the team has now
completed the Rules of Engagement, Scope of Work and Work Plan for the
review. As next steps, the team has determined an initial methodology for
conducting detailed fact-finding.  An outreach plan to get input from the
direct customers of the IANA Naming Function Process, as well as the
broader ICANN community, is under development.

ICANN Org, with approval from the team will be making an announcement in
the coming weeks about our progress but for now, I do encourage members to
visit the IFRT wiki found here [
https://community.icann.org/m/mobile.action#page/117609175] to learn more
about our work and how to become an IFR observer.

Stay safe!
Tomslin
