Dear all, 

Here are the notes from the call today:

Notes:  



Maarten Simon sends apologies



1. CWG Dependencies (on CCWG proposal)
* Sidley has the dependencies letter in the works and hopes to get it to CWG
today. 
* Notes the significant change in the 3rd draft (from Member model to
Designator model). This change makes the powers indirectly enforceable.
Sidley's recommendation is that this is sufficient, but the CWG will also
need to make that determination.
* Express to the CCWG that it's important to specially consider CWG
comments, especially if the comment has been made before (and not
addressed).  
* This is not simply a response to the Public Comment, it's a check on the
requirements for the process.
* Concern about tone affecting working relationship with the Chairs (e.g.
ambush feeling)
Action:Invite one person from Sidley team to the CWG call on Tuesday (at
16:00 UTC) to allow them to present.



Action:Greg to send sentence to Sidley on the requirements of the CWG.



2.  New ICANN Bylaws derived from the work of the CWG
* Sidley presented the Bylaws. For the "notes to the CWG" staff compiled
questions for the CWG to answer. CWG suspended its work in anticipation of
shorter, more simplified Bylaws.
* Sidley suggests, that instead of simplifying Bylaws at the outset, work on
the questions and then decide what needs to be Bylaws and what can be
'policies' and included elsewhere.
Action:CWG to make a first pass at the questions and then come back to the
lawyers with a smaller, more focused, group to finalize.



3. ICANN implementation of PTI (legal entity, articles, bylaws etc.)
* ICANN implementation team has put forth a plan for the operationalization
of the proposals. They are preparing, while not implementing until signoff
from the USG. 
* Ok if ICANN holds the pen/ does first pass, but Sidley will need to review
the PTI Bylaws at some stage. There are some details that are not 'off the
shelf' per se. 
Action:propose to ICANN that they approach the implementation of PTI in
various stages. Seek agreement on principles before starting the drafting
phase. 



4. AOB
* Greg suggests that DT-IPR may need external legal work.
