[CCWG-ACCT] ASO comment

[Izumi Okutani]

FYI, the ASO has submitted comment to the new Draft ICANN Bylaws at: https://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-draft-new-bylaws-21apr16/msg00008.html

---
The ASO has reviewed the Draft New ICANN Bylaws developed, to reflect the recommendations contained in the proposals by the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) and Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability), from the Internet numbers community perspective.

The ICANN accountability for the Internet numbers community is based on the contracts between ICANN and the RIRs ; the ASO MoU and SLA on the IANA Numbering Services.
The Draft New ICANN Bylaws reflects key points in the ICANN accountability from the ASO perspective in this regard, and we support the draft document as proposed.

We have confirmed that, based on the CCWG-Accountability proposal, the Draft New ICANN Bylaws clearly states number resources related matters are out of scope of IRP and reconsideration, which is essential for us in the ICANN accountability for the Internet numbers community.

The ASO is aware of discussion on section 1.1(d)(ii) regarding grandfathering of existing agreements, and have no objection to removal of that section if the community wishes to do so.


Best Regards,

Oscar Robles
Chair of NRO Executive Committee for the ASO
