[client com] Draft Instructions to Sidley Austin - 14 April 2015

[Client Committee List for CWG]

Dear Sidley,

 

During the call today (Meeting #40) of the CWG, I agreed to document our
next instructions to you. 

 

As I see it, as we move from the intensive sessions and towards a draft
proposal for public comment, we need the following:

 

1.       To communicate to you as full as possible set of answers to the
Sidley "Punch List" of 11th April. This will provide you with a
comprehensive information base from which you can develop further guidance
on our model. This work depends on the final outcomes of the design teams
and we are working on finalising that ASAP.

2.       We need you to review the final output from DT-C (CSC) in order to
ensure we (DT-C) have made adequate provisions to deal with any conflict of
issues or other best practice governance requirements. 
On the basis of that review we would like you to suggest any improvements as
you see fit.

3.       We have developed a more detailed description to flesh out the list
of the areas of work from the CCWG on which we are depending to support our
transition proposal. 
Here, we are reliant on the work of the CCWG for key areas of (broader)
ICANN accountability to support the adequate development our own (IANA
related) accountability needs.
In order to satisfactorily rely on this  (broader) ICANN accountability work
we need to have a form of words in our CWG proposal that makes it clear our
proposal is conditional on such measures being designed and either
implemented or committed to in a way we can depend on in advance of the
stewardship transition. In so doing, we seek to bind our proposal to the
output of the CCWG and we need your assistance to institutionalise that
commitment.

 

These have not been pre-vetted by the client committee so may need further
refinement or indeed have additions made before you commence work in
earnest.

 

Also, you may feel these need further explanation or discussion and we can
certainly use the scheduled Client Committee meeting on Thursday 16th April
to do so.

 

Many thanks,

 

 

Jonathan
