<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
<span lang="EN-GB">As we talked about during the Client Committee call last Thursday, we have discussed with the CWG Sidley's eventual advice regarding two issues – IPR and a matrix of the bylaws. The CWG agreed to request Sidley to give an estimate of the
hours needed in order to perform the two tasks:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:1.0in">
<u></u><span lang="EN-GB"><span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-GB">IPR - To conduct a stress-test approach regarding the IANA IPR issue. 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).
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in"><span lang="EN-GB">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<u></u><span lang="EN-GB"><span>2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><u></u><span lang="EN-GB">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.
