<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Dear All,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">ICANN Legal is proposing the following edits to Sections 22.4 and 22.5 and Annex F. Can DT-O confirm these edits are acceptable or identify any concerns? We thought #1 and #2 looked ok; however, we understand
“uninterrupted” was discussed by DT-O. ICANN Legal explained their concern with “uninterrupted” below:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">“Uninterrupted could be read to signal a technical SLA that the minute to minute (or second to second) performance of IANA functions will always be “uninterrupted”. While that is clearly what
our team strives for (and we do not have complaints as far as I’m aware of regarding our performance levels), we should avoid technical SLA language to move to what we understood the intention to be, that there not be gaps in funding that put the fact of performance
of the IANA functions at risk. Then whatever technical agreements there are on how that service will be delivered should be housed elsewhere.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">One alternative that should meet the concern raised by ICANN Legal, while also covering the concept of no interruptions is below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">is not interrupted due to lack of funding</span>”</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">With respect to #3, Sidley proposed language to try and capture the DT-O request. ICANN Legal’s edits are reflected as a redline to our proposed language. Please advise if this captures the concept being requested
by DT-O, which is also below. Also, is the bracketed language necessary?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
