[DT-F] Meeting and draft proposal

[Alan Greenberg]

I have requested that a Doodle be sent out for a 90 minute meeting 
either late this week or early next week.

Here is a very rough draft proposal. At some point in discussions 
(perhaps in the CWG as a whole), it was suggested that the ICANN 
Board could be the authorization body, and I have taken that as as 
good a proposal as any, and tried to flesh it out.

Draft Proposal to replace NTIA Administrative Oversight

Currently the NTIA is involved in virtually all changes to the 
architecture and implementation of the Root Zone (excluding those 
solely within individual Root Servers?) and all operational and 
procedural changes within IANA and the Root Zone Maintainer.

DT-F has recommended that such oversight is no longer required for 
day-to-day changes, but that oversight is still required for 
substantive changes.

Recommendation:

1.      Final approval over such changes will be given by the ICANN Board.

2.      Recommendations for such approval will be given by a new 
Board committee which shall be composed of:

         a.      One Board member, preferably with significant 
knowledge of the DNS as Chair
         b.      The senior IANA administrator or her/his delegate
         c.      The Chairs or their delegates of the SSAC, RSSAC and 
the IETF (IAB?)
         d.      A representative of a gTLD operator (named by?)
         e.      A representative of a ccTLD operator (named by?)
         f.      ??

3.      The above committee will involve other experts as dictated by 
the subject matter at hand.

4.      For major architectural changes, there should be wide public 
consultation

5.      Changes to the approval structure shall be deemed to be a 
substantive change and will require committee approval.

6.      To the extent allowed based the need for security and 
contractually required confidentiality, the proceedings of the 
committee should be open and transparent.
