<p class="MsoNormal">All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few thoughts/suggestions in response to recent posts in this thread:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. <u>Make IANA a Subsidiary of ICANN</u>. In order to promote structural separation, and to allow for future separation of the IANA group from ICANN should that become appropriate, IANA could become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICANN
(rather than a department). This would allow other entities to contract directly with IANA, rather than contracting with ICANN for IANA services.This would also make future separation easier (and should make the threat of separation as an accountability mechanism
more realistic).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. <u>All Stakeholder Groups should be part of the Entity/Group with ICANN Oversight</u>. Oversight of the IANA functions for the naming community should not be left solely (or even primarily) to its direct "customers." An essential
part of the multistakeholder construct is that all Internet stakeholders (aka "the Global Multistakeholder Community") are affected, directly or indirectly, by these matters. This CWG is roughly representative of those stakeholders. Any group or entity designated
or created to hold steward/oversight responsibility should be similarly representative.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. <u>An Unincorporated Association has Issues</u>. It is true that the NFL is an unincorporated association. However, I believe that it uses incorporated entities (e.g., NFL Media LLC, NFL Properties LLC, NFL Enterprises LLC) or the
the individual teams to enter into most (if not all) contracts. (I believe that the income of the NFL itself (which considers itself a trade association) is primarily dues from teams; all other revenue flows elsewhere.) Under US law, an unincorporated association
is not a legal entity apart from its individual members. Thus, unincorporated associations cannot enter into contracts unless the unincorporated association's home State has specific enabling unincorporated associations to enter into contracts. (I don't
know what California law says on this matter, assuming one would want the unincorporated association's "home" to be California.) Also, individual members of an unincorporated association have full personal liability for the acts of the unincorporated association
(in contrast to corporations and other "limited liability" entities, which act as a shield against personal liability under most circumstances) I doubt that stakeholder groups or representatives would want to assume personal liability for the acts of the
group.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. <u>An Entity Immune from "Rogue" Litigation Attacks is also likely to be Immune from Legitimate Litigation</u>. The issues of jurisdiction, domicile, immunity, etc. are complex and beyond the scope of this email. However, the idea that
an entity can be immunized from rogue litigation while still being subject to legitimate litigation is far-fetched. Legitimate litigation is an important accountability mechanism (although a relatively extreme one). The threat of "rogue litigation" is overblown,
in my opinion, and is another "bogeyman" that should be avoided. Most litigation is not objectively frivolous or baseless; if it is, it will likely be dismissed relatively quickly and there may be sanctions against the plaintiffs and their counsel. Furthermore,
avoiding litigation is not as easy as changing the state or country of incorporation -- there are "long arm statutes" and many other ways of dragging defendants into court as long as the entity or its activities have a reasonable nexus with the location of
the litigation. If we are concerned about accountability, I don't think we should be in the business of shielding entities from litigation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Very much in agreement with you on this. I think in one of the threads it was also clear that coming back to the ccNSO, GNSO we are part of the ICANN entity itself and within the entity where ICANN does the naming. Obviously as one would
say since ICANN has the required infrastructure to support the number resources where IANA comes in.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">IANA as much as sometimes Avri did mention is like we could call it a dept or the likes. But one thing important in this concept is that when it comes for the NRO - Numbering part the Policy is made from regional areas already and is brought
in through the MoU and a converged decision. Somehow as i mentioned before it is slightly easier for them.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now coming down to the thinking process. From my RIR standpoint it was fine and still fine to have a contract - MoU for IANA to still be under ICANN to continue the management process. IETF is also another loose contract with ICANN for
the IANA function. But IETF is also a core of the infrastructure of IANA. If they are not around things may crumble pretty much.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">From ALAC/NCUC the process is stalling as we seem to not formally realise that we are part of the beast - ICANN. The question is from the different SOs how do we ascertain the transparency and accountability process is maintained which
means no government control and i think this can be achieved independently from having the GAC as part of the process and no direct government involvement.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps one way to look at the problem is as much as we have setup this cross working group is a foresight answer to the problem already. Why not the CWG creates a council of membership from the different stakeholders in it and becomes
the community that ensures the names part and maintain the accountability.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If these are the core principles it should not take much time to accomplish a resolution. Legally stating can ccNSO, GNSO etc., create a legal, i am pretty much doubtful but we can create a council or something that can take the different
SOs to be managing and ascertaining the same processes. IETF on the other hand is housed under ISOC. IETF would not be able to house us. We need to still bear in mind we are part of ICANN here. Unless we are looking at decoupling ourselves from ICANN which
is not worth. <o:p></o:p></p>
