[client com] FW: Revised Community Agreement Draft: 08-05-2016

[Hofheimer, Joshua T.]

Dear Client Committee,

Attached please find a revised draft of the proposed Community Agreement for your review and comment.  This is an iterative version prepared jointly by counsel (Sidley) to the CWG and counsel to the IETF Trust to reflect the 7-point discussion items.  To be clear, it is still a work in progress, but we believe ready for the CWG to have an opportunity for review.

Two important issues to highlight:
1) the Names Community needs to determine who will be the signatory party, acting on behalf of the Names Community, to the Community Agreement.  For your information, the attached draft has the organizations put forward to represent the Numbers and Protocols Communities; and
2) we need a brief description of the IANA services to be provided on behalf of the Names Community.  The following high-level description was included in a draft of the Naming Functions Agreement.  If this is acceptable for including here is well, please advise (or we ask the Client Committee to provide a sufficient description):


The “IANA Naming Function” is comprised of:

(a)             Management of the DNS Root Zone (“Root Zone Management”);

(b)             Management of the .INT top-level domain;

(c)              Maintenance of a repository of internationalized domain name tables and label generation rule sets; and

(d)             Provision of other services related to the management of .INT top-level domains, at ICANN’s reasonable request and at ICANN’s expense.
Please provide any comment or feedback as soon as practical, as we are trying to finalize the draft for approval by the various stakeholders and release for public comment by Thursday.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Josh

All – attached is a draft of the Community Agreement that Josh and I have collaborated on over the past two days.  We believe that it reflects the current requirements of the parties, and submit it for your review and discussion.

A clean version, as well as a marked version against the draft of 07-30-16 (in PDF format) are attached.

Please note a few items that still need to be completed, including the description of the IANA Names Service, the identities of the CCG representatives, etc.
