<div dir="ltr"><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Name and Summary Description</b>: IANA Intellectual Property Rights, including the IANA Trademark and Domain Name. The Number Community has proposed that the IANA trademark and the <a href="http://iana.org">iana.org</a> domain name be transferred to an independent entity, such as the IETF Trust. This Design Team will review this proposal and provide a report back to the CWG discussing issues and pros and cons of this proposal and providing a written draft recommendation to the CWG regarding how to deal with this proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>The Number Community has also stated that it would be preferable if certain data associated with the IANA were in the public domain. The team would examine this proposal, and would also determine what if any other IPR is involved in the NTIA-IANA relationship. The team would provide a written draft recommendation regarding these points in a second deliverable. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Detailed Description: </b>The proposal submitted by CRISP on behalf of the Numbers Community contains the following paragraph:</div><div><br></div><div>With regards to the IANA trademark and the <a href="http://IANA.ORG" target="_blank">IANA.ORG</a> domain, it is the expectation of the Internet Number Community that both are associated with the IANA Numbering Services and not with a particular IANA Numbering Services Operator. Identifying an organization that is not the IANA Numbering Services Operator and which will permanently hold these assets will facilitate a smooth transition should another operator (or operators) be selected in the future. It is the preference of the Internet Number Community that the IANA trademark and the <a href="http://IANA.ORG" target="_blank">IANA.ORG</a> domain name be transferred to an entity independent of the IANA Numbering Services Operator, in order to ensure that these assets are used in a non-discriminatory manner for the benefit of the entire community. From the Internet Number Community’s perspective, the IETF Trust would be an acceptable candidate for this role.</div><div><br></div><div>The ICG has issued a question to the Protocol Parameters Community, asking (in essence) whether this proposal was acceptable. The Protocol Parameters Community responded that this was not inconsistent with their proposal. The ICG also issued a question to the IETF Trust, asking whether the IETF would be willing to take on this role. The IETF Trust responded that it would be willing to do so. As of today, the ICG has not issued a question to the CWG regarding this proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>This proposal may raise various operational and legal concerns. It does not appear that the CRISP Team, the ICG or the IETF Trust have examined these concerns. This Design Team will review this proposal with regard to how it could work and with regard to operational and legal concerns, and will provide a report back to the CWG discussing issues and pros and cons of this proposal and providing a draft recommendation to the CWG regarding how to deal with this proposal.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The Number Community has also stated that it would be preferable if certain data associated with the IANA were in the public domain. The team would examine this proposal, and would also determine what if any other IPR is involved in the NTIA-IANA relationship. The team would provide a written draft recommendation regarding these points in a second deliverable. </div></div><div><br></div><div><div>Greg</div><div> </div></div><div><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:12pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(23,54,93)">Gregory S.
