[CWG-Stewardship] Responses to ICG Questions

[Grace Abuhamad]

Dear all, 

Following the call today, Marika and I have reviewed the responses to the
ICG Questions and prepared a redline and clean version for your review. We
received some text from Alan Greenberg for the RZM questions and some text
from Donna Austin for the .ARPA/CSC question. To summarize our edits, please
refer to the notes from the call:

3. ICG Questions - review of draft responses
* ICG sent two batches of questions which are presented in the document on
screen. CWG has already provided answers to questions.
* On RZM question #1: ICG misunderstood the NTIA/Versign proposal.
* On RZM question #2: we have a Standing Panel to approve substantial
changes. So the answer includes, community consultation, expert
consultation, and Board approval. Refer to paragraph 155 in the CWG Proposal
(1155 in the ICG). Alan Greenberg: Proposed reply to Question 2: Both
descriptions are correct but incomplete. The full answer is addressed in
paragraph ICG 1155 (CWG 155). A change in the responsibilities of the IANA
Functions Operator and the Root Zone Maintainer is  clearly a substantial
architectual and operational change, and is therefore subject to a review of
the standing review committee and ultimately ICANN Board approval.
Subsection 5 of paragraph 155/1155 requires consultation through an ICANN
Public Comment Process.
* On ccTLD questions #3, #4, #5: These were drafted by the ccTLD
members/participants. No comments or concerns. Thank you ccTLD
members/participants.
* On PTI question #6: complete. no comments
* On PTI question #7: Clarify text referring to "Community Mechanism" since
the CCWG-Accountability is currently working this out. Additional
clarfications listed in action item.
* On PTI question #8: no comments other than cross-checking with
implementation. 
* On PTI question #9: PTI Board is responsible, but there is also recourse
to the ICANN Board. Confirm with lawyers
* On questions #10, #11, #12 on scope: no comments
* On question #13: representative of IAB or appointed person will be
involved in process.


Summary of current status on ICG questions
* Further work needed on questions #1, #2, #7, #9, #13
* Provisionally closed questions: #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #10, #11, #12
ACTIONS
* Action(staff): update Question #1 text on RZM with latest sent to list (by
Alan)
* Action(staff): update question #2 per notes
* Action(staff): incorporate Christopher's input (and any other input
received) where appropriate
* Action(staff): Clarify text referring to "Community Mechanism" (perhaps by
capitalizing the word Mechanism to refer to structure and by making a direct
reference to the CCWG-Accountability). Add "in the event that there is
divergence between the Board and the Community on an IFR
decision/recommendation, the Community will be able to rely on other
mechanisms that are being developed by the CCWG."
* Action(staff): update question #9 to include recourse to ICANN Board.
* Action(Chairs): run updated answer to question #9 by the lawyers
* Action(staff): staff to draft response to #13

Best, 
Grace
