[CWG-Stewardship] CWG Stewardship - Key Issues & Committments

[Jonathan Robinson]

All,

 

Ahead of tomorrow's meeting of our CWG, Lise and I reviewed the current
position of our work and between us, we felt that it will be useful to
highlight a few key points as follows:

 

1.      We have a LAST CWG MEETING OF 2015 tomorrow (Tuesday 15 December) at
14h00 UTC and it will be good to have as much attendance and participation
as possible.

2.      Our next meeting and the FIRST CWG MEETING OF 2016 is provisionally
scheduled for Tuesday 12 January 2016 (14h00 UTC).

 

The most urgent item we need to deal with, is to review and finalise our
response to the third draft of the CCWG ICANN Accountability proposal,
specifically to be able to formally respond on whether or not the proposal
meets the key conditions set by our CWG. We have a draft response prepared
by Sidley and in circulation on the CWG mailing list. We have already
received thoughtful comments on that draft and the primary purpose of
tomorrow's call will be to get the response updated and agreed during the
course of the meeting. We will then be in a positon to communicate the CWG
response to the CCWG Chairs and also to the CCWG Chartering Organisations.
As you likely recall, the planned communication includes submission of our
response into the public comment process for this third draft of the CCWG's
work.

 

An additional urgent item, is to review the work of the DT-IPR group. DT-IPR
submitted to the CWG today, a draft document which includes key questions
for review and decision taking by the CWG. Through our recent collaboration
with the other Operational Communities, we are aware of their desire to see
progress from us on dealing with the IANA IPR. In this regard, it is very
helpful to have the work product of DT-IPR posted to the CWG, but we are
cognisant that you will have only seen it approximately 24 hours before
tomorrow's meeting. If time permits, we would like the CWG to obtain a good
understanding of the document and the key issues within it, as well as the
specific questions being asked. Ideally, we will be able to deal with the
questions and issues arising from DT-IPR utilising our mailing list email
and then use the 12 January meeting to finalise our position at f possible. 

 

The third major issue is for the CWG is to provide relevant assistance to
Sidley with respect to Sidley's work on developing the ICANN bylaws that
specifically deal with the work outputs of this group. We plan to report on
this during today's CWG meeting and, on the back of last week's CWG Client
Committee meeting, propose a practical way forward.

 

So .. Please do note the calls tomorrow and 12 January at 14h00 UTC on both
days and we'll look forward to working with you during and in-between these
meetings.

 

Thank-you
