It is good to have this engagement, and to be prepared and to understand GAO's role.

I believe that this may be the same list that the GAO have used to
frame their discussions with other stakeholders (CDT has met with
them).
The "meeting" will be a discussion. The questions are for
guidance. I concur with Greg - care and thoughtfulness should
guide the discussion.
I have full confidence that our Chairs will give a balanced and
factual representation of the discussions that we have been engaged
in to date.

the other hand, I don't think we can view this is a request
that we can simply accept or reject as we see fit, or where we
can freely negotiate the content and direction of the
questions.

Based
on the questions outlined in the GAO brief I think
that the meeting may not align with a broad overview
of the methodology and structure, if they are
willing to talk about that and not delve into
specific questions on experience of the co-chairs,
risk identification, stakeholder representation and
the extent that the NTIAs criteria are sufficient,
then this may be a different discussion. B
But
as outlined their questions are very specific, and I
would say tailored to looking at the transition in a
certain manner. We need to quell our willingness to
share here and be very careful in how we approach
this.

Dear Mathieu
As far as I understand the
GAO has been put in charge to review the IANA
transition process and inform Congress.
At this point I think it
would be very useful to fully brief them on the
methodology, working groups structure and
expected timelines for the broader community
inputs.
It is in any case the best
opportunity to explain the whole system to the
people who are going to evaluate its results and
make recommendations to the lawmakers. If you
convinced them, they will convince the lawmakers
in a way that is not possible during open
hearings.
I would refrain in the brief
from any content issue at this
time.
Best of luck
Carlos

Good
day, Mr. Rickert, Mr. Sanchez
Ambia, and Mr. Weill:
You
may recall meeting my colleagues,
Derrick Collins, Alwynne Wilbur,
and Kate Perl at the ICANN meeting
in Singapore in February.
At
any rate, the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) has
been asked by the Chairs of the
House Committee on Energy and
Commerce and its Communications
and Technology Subcommittee to
review the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration’s (NTIA) proposed
transition of key Internet domain
name functions to the global
multistakeholder community. We are
meeting with knowledgeable people
and organizations to gather
information for our work.
We
would like to meet with you via
teleconference to discuss the
proposed transition from the
perspective of the Accountability
working group. We have provided a
list of questions, below, to give
you a better idea of the topics we
want to discuss with you, and I’ll
provide a teleconference line
after confirming your availability
(please “reply all” so that others
can know of your availability). In
addition to the discussion, we
would also welcome written
responses.
Would
you be available for a one-hour
time slot during one of the
following blocks?
·
Wednesday,
April 1st:
10:00 – 11:00 EST
·
Thursday,
April 2nd:
11:00 – 12:00 EST
·
Friday,
April 3rd:
10:00 – 11:00 EST
We
would also like to meet with Steve
DelBianco and Cheryl Langdon-Orr
to discuss their work with the
Stress Test Work Party. Please let
me know if you’d like to be part
of that meeting, too.
Thank
you,
John
