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-per
iod/>  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-prop
osal-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-per
iod/#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-prop
osal-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+A
ccountability> ) released its 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1
Recommendations 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-draft-2-proposal-work-stre
am-1-recs-03aug15-en.pdf> . Since the first version
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-propos
al-with-annexes-04may15-en.pdf>  of the proposal was released on 4 May
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-draft-proposal-20
15-05-04-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.
