[client com] Notes from call - 31 May at 19:00UTC

Sharon,

Thank-you for this. We will seek feedback from ICANN on the rationale.

By way of context, ICANN is proposing to supply all staff to PTI on secondment from ICANN i.e. all PTI staff will be ICANN staff that are seconded to PTI.

Moreover, it is proposed by ICANN that any new staff hired to undertake the work of PTI will first be hired by ICANN and then seconded to PTI.

This is the subject of current discussion with ICANN and, to date, the rationalisation for do so has not been fully provided.

Jonathan

Dear all,

We received a copy of the Post-Transition IANA (PTI) document for discussion dated May 24, 2016.  We note that the document contemplates two contracts where we had expected a single contract.  Specifically, page 4 of the document refers to a naming function contract and an intercompany services agreement – the latter covers staffing, other resources and funding of PTI.  We expected all of these concepts to be addressed in the single ICANN-PTI Contract that is contemplated by the CWG Proposal, and that is addressed in Section 16.3 of the draft ICANN bylaws.  We would suggest combining them.  This will allow Section 16.3 of the draft ICANN bylaws to appropriately address all the relevant ICANN-PTI obligations.  We are flagging this issue for your consideration.  Please let us know if you would like to discuss.

Best regards,

Sharon

*         Action: Grace to inquire about process for ICANN response to Sidley comments on PTI Bylaws. 

*         Action: Grace to develop two tables (one for notes to CWG and one for notes to ICANN). Should include Articles as well as Bylaws. 

3. ICANN-PTI Contract

*         Sidley provided a review of the headers. 

*         Action: Chairs will relay questions on Contract during CWG-Stewardship call on Thursday (separate from table at this stage). 

*         Action: Grace to inquire about when a first draft will be delivered for Sidley to review. Also, who would be drafting the statement of work? 

4. IANA IPR

*         Action: Sidley to provide a cover note along with feedback on IANA IPR document. 

5. AOB

*         Sharon can attend the CWG call on Thursday, but has a hard stop at the two hour mark. 

*         To the extent that CWG expects to cover IPR or Contract related matters, Josh should be invited to the call. 

*         Action: Client Com (Chairs) to inform Josh should he need to join the CWG call. 

*         Action: Client Com (Chairs) to communicate to Trang/Yuko that: the more advance notice, the better. This is important for Sidley to plan their work and better respond to ICANN.
