I believe that this may be the same list that the GAO have used to frame their discussions with other stakeholders (CDT has met with them).

The "meeting" will be a discussion.   The questions are for guidance.   I concur with Greg - care and thoughtfulness should guide the discussion.

I have full confidence that our Chairs will give a balanced and factual representation of the discussions that we have been engaged in to date.

I agree that we should approach the GAO's request with care and thoughtfulness.  On the other hand, I don't think we can view this is a request that we can simply accept or reject as we see fit, or where we can freely negotiate the content and direction of the questions.

Based on the questions outlined in the GAO brief I think that the meeting may not align with a broad overview of the methodology and structure, if they are willing to talk about that and not delve into specific questions on experience of the co-chairs, risk identification, stakeholder representation and the extent that the NTIAs criteria are sufficient, then this may be a different discussion. B

But as outlined their questions are very specific, and I would say tailored to looking at the transition in a certain manner. We need to quell our willingness to share here and be very careful in how we approach this.

Dear Mathieu

As far as I understand the GAO has been put in charge to review the IANA transition process and inform Congress.

At this point I think it would be very useful to fully brief them on the methodology, working groups structure and expected timelines for the broader community inputs.
It is in any case the best opportunity to explain the whole system to the people who are going to evaluate its results and make recommendations to the lawmakers. If you convinced them, they will convince the lawmakers in a way that is not possible during open hearings.

I would refrain in the brief from any content issue at this time.

Best of luck

Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez

Good day, Mr. Rickert, Mr. Sanchez Ambia, and Mr. Weill:

You may recall meeting my colleagues, Derrick Collins, Alwynne Wilbur, and Kate Perl at the ICANN meeting in Singapore in February.

At any rate, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has been asked by the Chairs of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and its Communications and Technology Subcommittee to review the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) proposed transition of  key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community. We are meeting with knowledgeable people and organizations to gather information for our work.

We would like to meet with you via teleconference to discuss the proposed transition from the perspective of the Accountability working group. We have provided a list of questions, below, to give you a better idea of the topics we want to discuss with you, and I’ll provide a teleconference line after confirming your availability (please “reply all” so that others can know of your availability). In addition to the discussion, we would also welcome written responses.

Would you be available for a one-hour time slot during one of the following blocks?
•         Wednesday, April 1st: 10:00 – 11:00 EST
•         Thursday, April 2nd: 11:00 – 12:00 EST
•         Friday, April 3rd: 10:00 – 11:00 EST

We would also like to meet with Steve DelBianco and Cheryl Langdon-Orr to discuss their work with the Stress Test Work Party. Please let me know if you’d like to be part of that meeting, too.

Thank you,

John
