The ICG has confirmed its support for using the ICG site to run the IANA IPR public comment period. In the cover note accompanying the documents for comment we will make it clear that the ICG as a body is not involved in this work. Some ICG folks asked me to let the CWG know about this, thus this email.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Alissa</div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Alissa Cooper <<a href="mailto:alissa@cooperw.in" class="">alissa@cooperw.in</a>><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">[Internal-cg] Use of ICG site for IANA IPR public comment</b><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">August 5, 2016 at 11:16:30 AM PDT<br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">To: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">ICG Group <<a href="mailto:internal-cg@ianacg.org" class="">internal-cg@ianacg.org</a>><br class=""></span></div><br class=""><div class=""><div class="">Hi all,<br class=""><br class="">Collectively, the OCs, ICANN, and the IETF Trust have been working on a set of contractual agreements to implement the requirement from the IANA stewardship transition proposal that the IANA-related IPR be held by an entity independent from the IANA functions operator. Those agreements are due to go out for public comment next Thursday, August 11. The group would like to know if we could use the ICG web site and secretariat services to host the call for public comment on these documents. Because these agreements impact all of the communities, and because ICANN and the IETF Trust are parties to the agreements themselves, we were looking for a “neutral” place to host the call for public comment and the ICG site seemed like a logical solution. This would not require any work or input from the ICG as a body, just some resources from the secretariat. The group working on the IPR agreements will sort out how to process and analyze the comments, and that too will not require any work from the ICG.<br class=""><br class="">Because time is short, we need to make a conclusion about where this call for public comment will be hosted by Monday, Aug 8. I realize this is very much a last-minute request and I apologize for that, but if anyone objects to using the ICG site and secretariat for this purpose, please say so on the list before 15:00 UTC on August 8.<br class=""><br class="">I have already been in touch with Jennifer about what would be required here and she is looking into the details with her team.<br class=""><br class="">Many thanks,<br class="">Alissa<br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Internal-cg mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:Internal-cg@mm.ianacg.org" class="">Internal-cg@mm.ianacg.org</a><br class="">http://mm.ianacg.org/mailman/listinfo/internal-cg_ianacg.org<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
