[CWG-Stewardship] RySG IANA Statement

[Jordan Carter]

Hi all

Thanks to the gTLD registries for this interesting input.

I wanted to raise a couple of points, related to accountability matters,
for wider discussion:

* On the links with accountability - I think both CCWG and CWG are clear
that the CWG charter says "Accountability for the administration of the
IANA functions (i.e., implementation and operational accountability),
however, is properly within the scope of this working group.", and that the
CCWG charter says "The CWG-Stewardship's scope is focused on the
arrangements required for the continuance of IANA functions in an
accountable and widely accepted manner after the expiry of the IANA
Functions Contract. Accountability for the administration of the IANA
functions (i.e., implementation and operational accountability) is not
within the scope of the CCWG-Accountability as it is being dealt with by
the CWG-Stewardship"

A question arises - about how we in CCWG should interpret Issue 3 and
recommendation 3A in this paper.

Is the recommendation from RySG regarding accountability about:

a) avoiding the duplication of structures (e.g. not doubling up
development/reform of the IAP, which CCWG is definitely working on), or
b) trying to move the matter of the *overall* responsibility for
accountable stewardship of the IANA functions to the CCWG?

I regard the first interpretation as helpful and clarifying, but the second
interpretation as deeply problematic, and so would really appreciate
teasing out clarity around this.

In the end, between the CWG and the CCWG, we have to deal with the
post-contract environment, and we have to have a genuinely multistakeholder
solution for the overall oversight of the IANA functions. I don't think a
customer-only CSC achieves that, and nor does an IAP - but they are parts
of the general accountability puzzle for sure.

Looking forward to people's thoughts.

best
Jordan
