[CCWG-ACCT] [ccTLDcommunity] ICANN Statement Regarding IANA Intellectual Property Rights

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Gabi,

thank you for posting this.

All,

I want to place on record, that this needs SIGNIFICANT thought, and
considerably more detail than what is provided here.

In particular what actual Intellectual Property Rights do they mean,
EXACTLY? And I would like to see them in a numbered list :-)-O

Most certainly will the root zone (database) on which the NSF is
performed, and the contacts database (DEF) NOT fall under this.


Without having thought this through to the end, however, I think this is
a WS1 item for the CCWG Accountability, and needs to be dsicussed on
tonight's call.


Fortunately, we have time, the transition has been postponed to
2016-09-30 last Friday
