[CWG-Stewardship] FW: [client com] Naming Function Agreement

[Andrew Sullivan]

Hi,

I totally don't care about this, but in the definitions there's this:

    “Delegation” refers to the process by which the operator of the
    IANA Naming Function initially assigns management responsibility
    or assigns previously assigned responsibility (after a revocation)
    for the management of a ccTLD, as further defined in the RFC 1591
    as interpreted by the FOI.

As a DNS geek, that strikes me as incorrect.  Delegation is very
simple: it's the act of putting NS records in the parent zone (in this
case the root) to the authoritative nameservers for the child zone.  I
could do delegation in anvilwalrusden.com to some other namespace
(example.anvilwalrusden.com). It would certainly have nothing to do
with either ICANN or ccTLDs.

The "management responsibility" stuff all sounds to me like what some
of us have come to call "allocation".

Anyway, I don't know that this ramifies, but I thought I ought to
point it out.

This draft reflects the negotiation of various items between ICANN and Sidley, as well as ICANN's response to the comments provided previously by Paul Kane, Becky Burr and other CWG participants.  ICANN has prepared an chart reflecting a number of items for which it is seeking confirmation from the CWG Client Committee that the particular item may be considered closed out.  Although the chart appears lengthy, that is merely because it contains the historical context of discussion for each item.   ICANN plans to review these items on the call tomorrow, and for our part, Sidley has no further edits to request if the CWG is satisfied with ICANN's proposed handling of the matters on the chart.
