A major milestone reached as two key proposals open for public comment

The transition of IANA's stewardship is now another step nearer as two key
proposals are opened for public comment:

   - The Consolidated IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal by the ICG
   - The 2nd Draft Report on Work Stream 1 Recommendations by the
   CCWG-Accountability

The final version of both these proposals will eventually be submitted to
the ICANN Board of Directors, who will transfer them to the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA
<http://www.ntia.doc.gov/>). More information on these proposals, and how
you can comment on their contents, is below.
Consolidated IANA stewardship transition proposal now open for public
comment

On 31 July, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG
<http://www.ianacg.org/>) announced the start of the public comment period
<https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-period/>
for
the Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department's National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global
Multistakeholder Community
<https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-proposal-EN.pdf>.
The proposal consists of the three proposals that have already reached
consensus among the Domain Names, Numbering Resources and Protocol Parameters
communities, as well as a report by the ICG, which includes an assessment
of whether the three proposals:

   - Were developed using open and inclusive community processes, and
   whether they achieved consensus;
   - Are complete and clear;
   - Are compatible and interoperable, provide appropriate and properly
   supported accountability mechanisms, and are workable; and
   - Together meet the NTIA's criteria
   <http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2014/ntia-announces-intent-transition-key-internet-domain-name-functions>
   .

The ICG notes that as the proposals have already undergone extensive public
comment and discussion
<https://www.ianacg.org/calls-for-input/combined-proposal-public-comment-period/#completedcommentperiods>amongst
the three operational communities, this public comment period is focused on
how the three proposals work together as a whole and how it fares against
the criteria established by NTIA for the transition.

The proposal will be available for public comment for 40 days. Following
community input during the comment period, the ICG will decide whether to
recommend that NTIA approve the transition proposal.

The proposal will be available shortly in all six official United Nations
(UN) languages and Portuguese, but is currently only available in English
<https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-proposal-EN.pdf>.
The news release about the proposal, however, is available now in these
seven languages, with all translations linked from the English version

CCWG-Accountability

On 3 August, the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability
(CCWG-Accountability
<https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountability>)
released its 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stream-1-recs-03aug15-en.pdf>.
Since the first version
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-proposal-with-annexes-04may15-en.pdf>
of
the proposal was released on 4 May
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-draft-proposal-2015-05-04-en>,
the CCWG-Accountability has taken a very open and agile approach to finding
creative solutions to problems identified in previous iterations of their
proposals. The second version also addresses a number of outstanding issues
not fully fleshed out in the first draft. The most significant changes
between the two drafts are:

   - *Mechanism to empower the ICANN community*

The mechanism has undergone significant changes: in the May draft, there
were two alternatives presented – member model and delegate model;
following feedback received during the public comment period, the
CCWG-Accountability brainstormed alternatives at ICANN53 in June, resulting
in the development of an Empowered SO/AC model. Resulting from subsequent
discussions at a face-to-face meeting in Paris in July, this second draft
proposal presents the Community Mechanism as Sole Member Model.

   - *Four additional stress tests*

The new stress tests have been added following suggestions contained in the
Larry Strickling's 16 June blog post
<http://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2015/stakeholder-proposals-come-together-icann-meeting-argentina>
on
the NTIA website.

   - *Refinements to key elements contained in the first draft*

These refinements include:

   - ICANN Mission & Core Values
   - Removal of individual ICANN Board Directors and recall of the entire
   Board
   - Independent Review Process
   - Community power regarding ICANN's budget
   - Work plan for Work Stream 2 (including adding a commitment to human
   rights in the ICANNBylaws)
   - Implementation plan for Work Stream 1

The proposal also includes "minority views", which are statements by
CCWG-Accountability members and participants who object to recommendations
contained in the report. Additional minority views received after 1 August
will be available here <https://community.icann.org/x/6oxCAw>.

The proposal will be available for public comment for 40 days.

After the public comment period closes, the CCWG-Accountability aims to
finalize its Work Stream 1 proposal for submission to its Chartering
Organizations (GNSO, ALAC, ccNSO, GAC, ASO and SSAC) and then to the
ICANN Board
of Directors during or shortly after ICANN54 in Dublin. The proposal will
then be submitted to the NTIA, along with the IANA Stewardship Transition
Proposal. After Work Stream 1 is completed, the CCWG-Accountability will
focus on Work Stream 2, which consists of accountability enhancements that
do not need to be in place for the IANA stewardship transition to occur.
