[CWG-RFP3] Coordination of Subgroup 3

[Robert Guerra]

 Greg,

In regards to one of your questions - might I suggest  an additional questions to consider:

For options #1 & 2

- Can a  stepped evolution of the IANA role be envisioned? If so, the NTIA handover could be seen as the beginning of a process...

For  option #2. 

- Is there is a  jurisdiction that ICANN has (or can obtain) legal status might be more suitable to use to create IANA as a subsidiary. Such an option might allow for the link to be a subsidiary of ICANN, but sever the legal link to the US. A negative, of course, would be moving the function and existing staff to a new part of the world.

I don't think there is enough time before Tuesday's call of the CWG to have a subgroup.  If you cannot participate at this time, please respond ASAP.  If the time doesn't work, we'll go to a Doodle poll, but I think a call of this subgroup this week is critical to moving forward in a timely fashion.

I think it is important to identify the topics any proposal needs to address before we move on to drafting any particular proposal(s).  A great deal of this document is based on proposals drafted by Allan McGillivray, for which I am exceedingly grateful.  I also tried to draw on the active discussions on the general list up to this time.  This document is only intended as a starting point, and can be put up in Google Drive and/or a wiki by staff or by myself.

I have also provided a draft document with pro's and con's and questions relating to one of the key topics -- the status of the IANA Operating Function -- and three potential variables (IANA stays as is, IANA becomes a subsidiary of ICANN, IANA is independent of ICANN).  Again, this document reflects contributions by Allan to  a very great extent, is only intended as a starting point, and can be put into Google Drive and/or a wiki.

Please start new threads or rename threads if you are going off in a new direction or diving into details on a particular subtopic, rather than merely replying to a general email like this one.  That will make it much easier to capture ideas without too much hunting.
