[client com] CWG Meeting #42: Sidley Proposed Inserts

[Client Committee List for CWG]

Dear All,

Following up on today’s call, below is proposed language for III. A and Annex L.

III.A.

[to replace current first two bullets]

•          A new separate legal entity, Post-Transition IANA (PTI), would be formed as an affiliate of ICANN.  The existing IANA naming functions, administrative staff and related resources, processes, data and know-how would be legally transferred into PTI.

•          ICANN would enter into a contract with PTI, granting PTI the rights and obligations to serve as the IANA Functions Operator for the naming functions.  This contract would also include service level agreements for the naming functions.

Annex L:


Triggers for the Separation Mechanism

An outcome of an IANA Function Review could include a recommendation to initiate a separation of the IANA Functions Operator.  This recommendation would be submitted to the ICANN Board for consideration, with ultimate input by the multistakeholder community through the CCWG Accountability mechanisms under consideration.(1)

(1) A point for public comment is whether the IANA Function Review recommendation for separation should first be submitted to the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees for their approval before escalation to the ICANN Board, or whether the IANA Function Review recommendation for separation should be submitted directly to the ICANN Board by the IANA Function Review Team.

Notes:

1. Opening Remarks
·         Last call before the launch of the Public Comment on the 2nd Draft Proposal.
·         We've converged on one proposal for structure
·         Today, we'd like to conclude on the last DTs and the outstandings items.
·         Need dependencies for CCWG-Accountability to be clarified and noted

2. Open items on Draft Proposal 3.4
The following three items are "aide-memoire" to help think through open issues and how to address them.
     a. To be resolved by Design Teams?
     b. To be resolved by CWG?
     c. To be resolved during Public Comment?

Section III starts on page 17
Going through Sidley comments
Change review period text to "every 5 years"
Page 22, section on IANA Function Review -- help with language from Sidley
Page 17, "ICANN to continue as IFO" -- help with language from Sidley
For DT-A, placeholder text needed because the DT is not complete: capture that significant work has been done to date, but not all are agreed. --> suggest general statement instead

Action (Alan): provide the text for point 4 (after CCWG-Acct meeting)
Action (Staff): do a thorough copyedit
Action (Sidley): propose language for Section III and Annex L

3. Public Comment

     a. Structure
·         As discussed in Istanbul, staff prepared a template for the comments to be submitted.
·         The template will be presented in Word and PDF formats (the PDF will be fillable)
·         Use of the template will be strongly encouraged, but not absolutely obligatory (free form comments are also accepted)
·         The reason for using a template is to get concrete feedback and also to faciliate analysis and incorporation of feedback
·         The template and the Proposal will be published in all ICANN supported languages

     b. Associated Communications
·         There will be a Chairs' Foreword/Summary
·         There will be an updated version of the Xplane Handout presented in Istanbul
·         The idea behind the two documents is that they each provide background and narrative on the CWG work process: the foreword/summary does this in a text form, and the XPlane handout provides a visual form.

     c. Role of CWG Members
Please make sure that CWG Members ensure that their communities are aware of the comments, the suggested format, and the timeframe for comments.

4. Timeline
Will publish timeline to the list to save for time.

6. Closing Remarks
