Milton,

Based on our analysis, there were a significant number of comments that said the proposal was too complex and paradoxically the were also a significant number of comments that said the proposal lacked detail. We’re just reflecting what we read in the comments.

Thanks,

Donna

Subject: RE: [CWG-Stewardship] RySG analysis of public comments

I think the RySG did a good job of summarizing the comments from their point of view, but I can’t agree with one of their conclusions as to what should guide future efforts: the proposal is “too complex.”

The statement that a proposal is “too complex” implies that one could develop a proposal that does the same things and has the same safeguards and is less complex.

My response to that is: show me.

We have already seen ALAC try and completely fail to deliver an alternative solution that is less complex.

The “too complex” charge strikes me as one of those things that one would say after one’s first confrontation with the proposal. It was my first reaction, too. It is very easy to say, it is a kind of superficial response. The real issue is, however: what proposal is less complex, and how would it work? Until we have real, complete alternate proposals on the table the characterization of one proposal as “complex” is not very meaningful.

If you think the status quo is not complex, you don’t understand what goes on in the current regime. The NTIA is embedded in the US government in a highly complex way; nothing simple about it.

For what it's worth, I think this is a useful and succinct summary.

I'm not entirely sure why the ALAC proposal has been highlighted twice when no other submissions have been specifically mentioned and there were other proposals. But apart from that this seems like a good path forward to me.

In the interests of sharing, a group of RySG members conducted our own analysis of the comments submitted on the CWG Transition Proposal. Provided below are our conclusions and recommendations for next steps. Also attached is a document we prepared containing key excerpts of comments as they relate to various aspects of the proposal.


Please accept this information in the spirit that it is offered—not as authoritative but as the result of an analysis developed by the RySG for our own purposes.


We (Chuck, Stephanie, Sarah and myself) will be happy to answer any questions.


RySG IANA CWG Team Conclusions regarding ongoing work of the IANA CWG


The RySG believes that the following statements have very strong support in the community and hence can be used to guide future decisions by the CWG:

A.      The current service of the IANA functions operator is satisfactory and ICANN should initially continue as the operator when the transition occurs.

B.      The IANA CWG proposal as described in the request for public comments is too complex and does not contain enough detail.
Of the four elements of the proposed IANA CWG proposal, there appears to be reasonable support for the CSC, MRT and IAP in some form, although not necessarily as described in the CWG proposal.
The RySG believes that the following statements need further investigation and/or indicate areas where additional work is warranted:

         i.            The overall structure of the CWG proposal.

       ii.            Contract Co.

      iii.            Internal to ICANN option
RySG IANA CWG Team Recommendations regarding Next Steps

1.       Suggestions made by commenters should be evaluated based on the following criteria to identify which ones should be excluded, which ones should definitely be considered further and which ones need further investigation:

a.       CWG principles

b.      Would they contribute toward a simpler proposal?

c.       Results of the two surveys.



2.       All alternatives to the CWG proposal should be examined in detail, not just the one proposed by the ALAC, to identify what alternatives or elements of the alternatives should be investigated further.

3.       An extension of the targeted time frame of at least 60 days should be requested from the ICG to allow for continued work and an additional public comment period after reasonable consensus is reached on a proposal for submission to the chartering SOs and ACs.

4.       The work of the IANA CWG and Accountability CCWG are properly dependent. The IANA CWG should have the opportunity to revisit the CWG Proposal, ALAC alternative, and other options once the outputs of Workstream 1 of the Accountability CCWG are provided and consider the implications for accountability as it relates to the performance of the IANA Functions.
Thanks,


Donna

Importance: High


Thanks to all three of you for the good edits. The first attachment is a redline that includes a couple edits I made to the second paragraph and a comment I added on page 3 regarding the fact that the last two sections will be sent to the CWG list. Please let me know if you see any problems.  I also attached a clean copy.


The third document attached is a final version of our excerpts.  Note I added an introduction.


Donna – As our official rep, I think it would be good if you sent the documents as follows:

•         To the RySG & NTAG lists:

o   Clean version of the analysis

o   Excerpts document

•         To the CWG list:

o   The last two paragraphs of the analysis.

o   The excerpts document.


Can you do that?


Chuck

I added the ‘internal to ICANN option’ as worthy of further consideration.


Thanks,

Thanks Stacy. Took a stab at tweaking/shortening a bit. I changed the recommendation slightly to provide the opportunity to actually revisit the proposals once WS 1 outputs are published. Please advise if this is not what we want. Also added revisiting other alternatives.

Okay….fairly wordy and it needs your edits, but here is my suggestion for basic language.
Thanks!
