[CCWG-ACCT] IANA Contract Extended

[Salaets, Ken]

I agree with Jordan re the timeline.  As for implementation post-Dublin, absent a preliminary signal from NTIA along the lines of ‘right track’ – and I’m not certain how they could do that, given the politics and procedures – is there risk of pursuing a recommended track or tracks and having it/them “rejected” or altered down the road?  Apologies if I have missed a previous discussion on implementation.

Cheers,

Ken

For what it's worth, I do not believe that there is any impact on our timeline at all. We should still finalise our proposal for WS1 for Dublin and be implementing shortly thereafter.

It is all the things that happen after which require the contract extension... Particularly the 5mth U.S. Govt review and approval process...

"Accordingly, in May we asked the groups developing the transition
documents how long it would take to finish and implement their
proposals.  After factoring in time for public comment, U.S. Government
evaluation and implementation of the proposals, the community estimated
it could take until at least September 2016 to complete this process. In
response to their feedback, we informed Congress on Friday that we plan
to extend our IANA contract with ICANN for one year to September 30,
2016. Beyond 2016, we have options to extend the contract for up to
three additional years if needed.

This one-year extension will provide the community with the time it
needs to finish its work. The groups are already far along in planning
the IANA transition and are currently taking comments on their IANA
transition proposals. As we indicated in a recent Federal Register
notice, we encourage all interested stakeholders to engage and weigh in
on the proposals."

In the light of this announcement, do we still think we are done?
Or does the extra time give us the opportunity to improve our proposal
further?
