Hello all,<br>
<br>
you might wish to see an expanded set of "Options", in a Google Doc
which has been shared.<br>

<br>
So far, I note that the majority of our participants on the At-Large
IANA Issues WG appears to prefer Option 2.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<div>How the names community approach will differ from the
approach adopted by the numbers community and protocols
community?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Numbers Community: APNIC has reached consensus on its
proposal. According to the proposal, IANA will continue to
reside in ICANN. It proposes to replace NTIA oversight with
a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Affirmation of
Commitment (AOC) between NRO and ICANN.</div>
<div><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fullscreen/apnic/report-ianatransition/1" target="_blank">www.slideshare.net/fullscreen/apnic/report-ianatransition/1</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Protocols Community: The IETF draft proposal suggests
that no structural changes are required as a result of the
transition. The MOU between ICANN and the IETF community
will continue to govern the existing relationship. Again,
IANA will continue to reside in ICANN.</div>
<div><a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ianaplan-icg-response-00" target="_blank">http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ianaplan-icg-response-00</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Therefore, neither the numbers community, nor the
protocol community appear to be in the direction of
suggesting a new MS Oversight Entity to replace NTIA and its
oversight. Merely contracts between existing entities will
be updated to replace NTIA oversight.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can the names community adopt a similar approach? Can a
contractual agreement (SLA/AOC/MOU) between ICANN and
GNSO/CCNSO be expected to replace NTIA oversight?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Clearly NO! This approach can not be adopted by the names
community because the names community resides within ICANN,
which is also the IANA operator. Specifically, GNSO and
CCNSO are essentially subsets of ICANN, and therefore a
contractual agreement (SLA/AOC/MOU) between ICANN and
GNSO/CCNSO can not be expected to replace NTIA oversight.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Therefore, it is essential to either<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Option (i): create a new legal entity, which has a
contractual oversight relationship with ICANN. This would be
similar to <a href="http://www.internetgovernance.org/2014/08/04/students-school-faculty-on-iana-transition-the-meissen-proposal/" target="_blank">http://www.internetgovernance.org/2014/08/04/students-school-faculty-on-iana-transition-the-meissen-proposal/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Option (ii): expect ICANN to self-regulate</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Option (iii): make a new legal entity comprising of CCNSO
and GNSO that is structurally independent of ICANN and
require that new entity to enter into a contractual
oversight agreement (SLA/AOC/MOU) with ICANN.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From the above three options, clearly option (ii) is not
acceptable because of the lack of trust in the ICANN
enhanced accountability process.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also feel that option (iii) is not feasible because the
CCNSO and GNSO are heavily integrated with ICANN and
structural separation of these two communities from ICANN
will be in-feasible.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, from the Jordan Carter document, the option on page
7 can be discarded, which makes ICANN the oversight body, as
IANA will continue to reside in ICANN, as clearly suggested
by the proposals of the protocols and numbers community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Therefore, option (i) is clearly the only option
available with the names community.</div>
<div><br>
