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.

I agree that we should approach the GAO's request with care and
thoughtfulness.  On 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

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
