[CWG-Stewardship] Initial DT-N Response to Major Comment Areas

Sat May 30 18:20:52 UTC 2015

Good evening:

Since Eric and Baudouin ask, may I have a go at this:

>  criteria listed in order of priority ...

1.	Accountability to the overall community
2.	 Geographic representation
> 
3.	 Stakeholder representation
4.	Skill set and expertise
5.	Limited size of Board

Comments:

I rate Skill Set and Expertise in the PTI Board itself, low, because the essential skills must in any event be in the IANA staff, as they are at present, we are assured.
The Director of IANA should be a non-voting member of the PTI Board

I rate accountability and geographic representation high, reflecting ICANN's accumulated experience in this respect over the past 17 years.
For the PTI, I do not rate stakeholder representation very high (which stakeholders?) because the Registries (both types) would apparently have a privileged role in the CSC, which is enough for operational purposes.

What is quite clear is that a 'de minimis' technical PTI Board for an 'Internal' IANA would be absolutely incompatible with an eventually 'separated' IANA, for in the latter case the Full Monty of ICANN style multistakeholder accountability would be required.

However, as I have said before, I am not convinced that we need a PTI Board atall for the internal solution. The accountability issues within ICANN must be resolved, but once, not twice.

Regards

CW

> In order to facilitate today’s review of comments, DT-N has formulated a review of some of the major topics identified in the related public comments and an initial design team position (including identification of areas where further discussion is required. Our summary is below:
>  
> Composition: A large number of comments focused on the composition of the IFRT, though the “asks” varied widely. Some called for greater registry representation, some called for increased representation by Advisory Committees, others called for a balance between the GNSO/ccNSO participation. One comment called to remove the CSC liaison while another called for the entire CSC to participate and for 5 liaisons to be created. The structure proposed by the working group is an effort to balance between these different positions; we note that the structure was generally derived from the outcome of the intensive working weekend (then in the context of the MRT) that followed a survey of the working group on this topic.
> Geographic Representation: Some comments called out for geographic balance in the representation of the IFRT. The DT supports this principle but notes that implementation is difficult for a group of this small size, particularly where experience is key. To these ends we recommend that a principle that, to the extent possible, groups appointing more than one representative strive to have representatives from different geographic regions.
> Frequency: Some comments called for reviews to be carried out more frequently. We generally feel that a review carried out every year or every other year (as called for by the comments) would be too frequent. However, we are open to suggestions made that a recommendation for the frequency of the regular reviews could be deferred to completion of the first review.
> Outcomes of IFR: Some comments called for the outcomes of the IFR to be explicitly stated. While we believe that these should not be prescribed, the creation of a SCWG is identified as one possible outcome. We would be open to creating an inventory of other possible outcomes but would not want this work to confine the Review Team.
> Appointment of the ccTLD Members: One comment called for the non-ccNSO ccTLD representative to be appointed by the ccNSO. We believe that the ccNSO is in the best position to appoint this representative and to communicate with all ccTLD operators about the process. We support clarifying this in the draft comment.
> Scope of IFRT: One comment requested clarification that this applies only to the Naming Functions. It is the intention that the IFRT will apply only to the Naming Functions. We will ensure that this is clarified in current drafts.
> Details Around Separation Review: Several comments called for more detail to be inputted about the Separation Review. We note that significant work has been carried out since the Draft Proposal to further define the separation process/mechanism (the SCWG). These processes encompass some of the sub-recommendations with respect to separation (e.g. community consultation)
> Role of the Board: Some comments expressed concern about the role of the Board in the processes of implementing IFRT Recommendations or in the Separation Process. We note that this role has been limited to Board approval, which we believe is requisite in both instances. To address related concerns, in the revised process details have been added that rejection of these recommendations would have to be handled by the board in accordance with the thresholds and procedures for rejecting the output of a PDP.
> Home of IFRT: Some comments raised concerns about the possibility of the IFRT sitting inside PTI and/or supported by PTI. The intent of DT-N was to have the IFRT exist within ICANN and to be defined in the ICANN Bylaws. We will make this clearer in the current draft. We will also clarify that ICANN will provide secretariat and other support services for the IFRT.
> Separation Costs: Some comments dealt with concerns about how IANA expenses would be covered following a separation process. DT-N supports this recommendation. We look to the full CWG for a determination on where this issue is best resolved (DT N, DT L, DT O or full CWG).
