Here are some basic questions that need to be answered:<br>
- Does PTI contract with the RZM, or does ICANN? Or does someone else?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>According to the CWG proposal, PTI contract with ICANN as far as being IFO is concerned.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
- Who is the principal and who is the agent of this contract?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>ICANN will be principal and PTI will be agent again in the sense of PTI be IFO.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
- If ICANN is the principal, can it decide to give the contract to someone besides Verisign? On what time frame? On what criteria?<br>
- What are the basic terms/elements of this contract? Does the RZM get paid?<br>
<br>
At risk of being repetitive, let me say that CWG cannot just throw up its hands and say, "whatever touches Verisign is NTIA's problem, not ours." The RZM is a generic role that will outlive the NTIA cooperative agreement and possibly even Verisign. If the CWG has no idea how ICANN and PTI relate to the RZM structurally and permanently, it hasn't done its job.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think its important to just always remind NTIA that they are yet to initiate(clarify) the parallel process that would determine how the corporative agreement between NTIA/Verisign will go[1]. I don't think its within the CWG's scope to initiate that process and i believe that was also clear in the proposal. Its not even within ICANN's scope who is the convener of the transition process.<br><br></div><div>Regards<br>1. <strong>Q. What impact does this announcement have on the cooperative agreement with Verisign?</strong><br>
<br>
A. Aspects of the IANA functions contract are inextricably intertwined
with the VeriSign cooperative agreement (i.e., authoritative root zone
file management),<b>which would require that NTIA coordinate a related and
parallel transition in these responsibilities. </b></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
