This includes four aspects:<br><br>a. Sidley should consult with ICANN Legal in order to obtain further insight and background to the IPR issue. This can be done with the involvement of other members of the CWG – like the Client Committee. Furthermore CWG is considering involving other communities in this fact-gathering exercise.<br><br>b. There appear to be three possible scenarios. IANA’s IPR either:<br>(i) stays with ICANN; (ii) goes to PTI; or (iii) goes into trust (IETF, mutual trust). <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph>c. What risks exist with each approach from a CWG-Stewardship perspective. These need to be evaluated in view of ICANN's position and the proposal from the other communities to determine what is optimal and/or acceptable. <br><br>d. There are 3 trademarks involved: (i) "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority," (ii) "IANA", and (iii) the IANA Logo, which consists of IANA in stylized letters plus Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Matrix of the ICANN bylaws:<br><br>Create a matrix to help determine where the bylaws that are needed in relation to the CWG proposal belong. Identify which bylaws Sidley would suggest that the CWG should draft (be in charge of having drafted), and which bylaws drafted by the CCWG need to be signed off by the CWG. There will be a part of the bylaws that are being prepared by the CCWG that have no direct relationship to the CWG's work and these constitute a third category. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After receiving the quote, the Client Committee will evaluate the estimates of the two tasks and get back to you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get back to me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lise<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
