Volume 5: An Update on IANA Stewardship Discussions, Special Edition on
theICANN Accountability Enhancements Draft
CCWG-Accountability draft now open for public comment
On 4 May, the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability (CCWG-Accountability
<https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+A
ccountability> ) published its initial draft report on the elements of the
ICANN accountability framework that it has identified as essential to
happen, or be committed to, before the IANA Stewardship Transition takes
place. This initial draft report will be open for public comment for 30
days. Following community input during the comment period and at ICANN 53
<https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/>  in Buenos Aires, the
CCWG-Accountability will produce a second draft report for a 40-day public
comment period in July.
The recommendations in the initial draft now out for comment are not
presented as the consensus of the CCWG-Accountability. Instead, the
CCWG-Accountability has published the draft to solicit feedback from the
community on the CCWG-Accountability’s approach as well as guidance on
several options under consideration.
The CCWG-Accountability initial draft report is the fourth major community
developed proposal to undergo public consultation as a part of the IANA
Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANNAccountability processes.

Updates on other transition-related activities
IETF Working Group on Planning for the IANA/NTIA Transition (IANAPLAN)
On 30 April, the chairs of IETF, IAOC and IAB notified
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ianaplan/current/msg01680.html>
members of IANAPLAN <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/ianaplan/documents/>
of the status of work between IETF and ICANN regarding the annual SLA or
Supplemental Agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IETF
and ICANN in relation to IANA’s performance of the protocol parameters
function. Following that notification, there was much discussion on the
IANAPLAN mailing list
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ianaplan/current/maillist.html> about
the possible reasons behind ICANN’s communication to IETF that it believed
that agreeing to the proposed text of the SLA would possibly put ICANN in
breach of its existing agreement with the NTIA. The discussion was forwarded
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-April/003018.html>  on
to the CWG-Stewardship mailing list and, in response, ICANN clarified
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2015-May/003029.html> that
the concerns it had expressed were not related to the proposed stewardship
model for the protocol parameters function of IANA after the expiration of
ICANN’s contract with NTIA, but were specifically related to constraints
that applied solely while the current contract with NTIA remained in place.
ICANNexpressed it did not want to pre-empt or create a perception of
pre-empting any of the community consensus process around any areas in the
finalization of the transition. A further email was posted
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2015-May/00268
6.html>  to the CCWG-Accountability list by a member of the ICANN Board
containing more information on the MoU and the process IETF can invoke to
terminate the agreement.
Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team
As a result of the CRISP <https://www.nro.net/crisp-team>  Team’s draft
proposal for the numbers component of the IANA functions, the Number
Resource Organization (NRO <http://www.nro.net/> ) has produced a Draft
Service Level Agreement (SLA) for theIANA Numbering Services
<http://www.nro.net/sla> . The draft SLA, which has not been reviewed by the
CRISP Team nor negotiated with any other parties, including ICANN, is
available for comment
<https://www.nro.net/news/call-for-comments-for-a-draft-sla-for-the-iana-num
bering-services>  until 14 June 2015. Comments received are archived on the
NRO’s ianaxfer mailing list <https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ianaxfer>
.
IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG)
The ICG <https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/>  has announced that it has
published its final process
<http://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/Community-Comments-Handling-1May1
5-final.pdf>  for how it will handle comments sent by members of the
community to the ICG forum
<http://mm.ianacg.org/pipermail/icg-forum_ianacg.org/> . Comments may be
directly submitted to the ICG any time via icg-forum at ianacg.org. In response
to the SLA-related discussions described in the sections above, the ICG has
posted a statement on its homepage <http://www.ianacg.org/>  that encourages
all interested parties, including ICANNstaff and Board members, to
participate within the open, transparent processes being used by the three
operational communities to transition the stewardship of the IANA functions
away from NTIA. Board Chair, Steve Crocker, issued a response
<http://mm.ianacg.org/pipermail/internal-cg_ianacg.org/2015-May/000450.html>
.  The ICG has also created Twitter <https://twitter.com/ianastewardship>
and Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ianastewardship>  accounts to assist
with disseminating information about their activities.
Transition timeline and implementation
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has
written to the chairs of theICG and CCWG-Accountability requesting
information on projected dates related to completing the transition
proposal, as well as the estimated time to implement the transition, to
assist the NTIA in planning for the transition. The NTIA has requested this
information be communicated by the end of June.
