s>  on the two processes (IANA Stewardship Transition & Enhancing ICANN
Accountability) prepared by Samantha Dickinson, a well-respected Internet
Governance consultant. The second is a blog post
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/seeing-the-big-picture-a-reflection-one-yea
r-into-the-iana-stewardship-transition>  by Theresa Swinehart about the work
accomplished in the year since NTIA announced their intent to transition the
stewardship of the IANA functions.

Please let me know if there is anything that I or the Client Committee can
locate for you as you prepare for Istanbul,

Notes & Action Items
Draft Agenda for Istanbul
* Session with Sidley on day 1 and follow up session on day 2
* Sidley is welcome to join any sessions
* HG: Would be good to hear directly what concerns people (NTIA criteria,
etc). Imagining a whiteboard exercise to define "capture" for example
* JR: There is real values in airing views, and best captured through themes
as Holly outlined earlier
* If we are able to not produce another version of the document, then that's
ideal. We can still provide comments, ask questions, if there are any.
* Sidley will work on something that is summary for presentation. There was
a lot of redundancy in the response due to thw way the questions were asked,
so we would organize the summary differently.
 
Goals/Outcomes for Istanbul
* What does CWG hope to acheive coming out of Istanbul?
* JR: at high-level, be in a position to produce key parts of the proposal.
We are scheduled to launch a document for public comment shortly after
Istanbul
* HG: Would like to see more focus on what pathways the CWG would like to
explore. Our goal is to help CWG focus in on two or three.
* JR: Important to provide the group with a map of when and where pathways
should be narrowed. Would be useful to build a common understanding.
* JR: It may be possible that the document produced for public comment
includes one or more options
* JH: Is it your expectation that Sidley will be charged with producing the
initial draft (producing recommendation on model)? Or would you like Sidley
to make a recommendation for you to agree/disagree with? Who is going to
make initial recommendation?
* JR: we would be receptive to you making a recommendation. The only risks
are if you're criticized for bias or lack of information
* HG: we provide information and together come to a solution. Imagine an
iterative process here.
 
Thought exercise on separability concept ("nuclear option")
* JR: Thought exercise: we consider moving IANA away from ICANN (to a 2nd
operator) but what if we need to move to a 3rd, 4th, etc.  Concern that we
are reacting against ICANN and only considering "step 1"
* SF: there would a be lot of documentation needed on the "how" and that's a
huge project on its own
* HG: concept was very clear -- what protects at the next operator and the
one after that and the one after that
* GS: the meta issue here is to focus on the worst case scenario
 
Discussion of Integrated Model
* SF: What are the highlights? What makes it better?
* GS: It creates a separable model, not necessarily at the moment, but there
for the future
* SF: How is free-standing IANA different from Contract Co. ?
* GS: Contract Co. is a different company
* HG: so, in other words, NTIA could transfer contracting role to ICANN, and
ICANN could contract with IANA. How is this different? How is there more
direction between ICANN/IANA whether inside or outside?
* JF: one variant got more traction with the group than others
 
Reminder to use Client Committee mailing list for communication.
As a reminder, there will no call next Thursday since the CWG will be in
Istanbul for its F2F meeting.
