[Internal-cg] ICG call

[Paul Wilson]

Regarding the CRISP proposal, the work is starting now on development of the SLA and specification of the Review Committee so that these things are ready to be launched (all going well) by the time the transition takes place (and still on an assumption that this may happen in September).  According to the CRISP proposal, this work is the responsibility of the RIRs, however the work will be conducted in consultation with the numbers community, and the CRISP team has been asked to ensure that the progress and outcome of that work is consistent with their proposal.

I think we are working on an assumption that while the plan could not stipulate all of the implementation details, those details do need to be established so that implementation can go ahead at the time of the transition.  Larry Strickling made this requirement pretty clear in one of his speeches I believe, though right now I cannot find the specific words he used.

Paul.

We have the RFP that asks the communities to produce proposals so that we can get them submitted to NTIA. If the CWG has questions about what belongs in the proposal or what criteria we will use to evaluate the component proposals, we should certainly elaborate on those points. But that elaboration is a separate matter from the decision to actually move forward with the transition. That decision rests with NTIA (and ICANN, as the contracted party), not with the ICG.

I think it would be perfectly reasonable for us to get to the end of our assessment process with the CRISP proposal incorporated as-is into the final transition proposal, and to submit the final proposal to NTIA (via the ICANN Board) even if the SLA and Review Committee described in the CRISP proposal have not yet been finalized (although of course it would be great if the RIRs make progress toward finalization between now and then). Whether the NTIA contract gets terminated before those two items are finalized is not a question for us to answer.

There may be a great variation in implementation details. And the various detail options shall directly impact the time needed to elaborate – hence our timeline.

I am more interested in seeing that we get results that are backed by the communities and that have gone through a sufficient process, rather than inserting my own opinions on what the proposal should say. The CWG needs to see themselves as being in charge, and they need to make the difficult decisions and create community consensus so that the world has something that we can rely on wrt future IANA arrangements on names.

As an example, 98% of what is in the IETF proposal is something that we’ve had in place for a decade, and we have lots of experience from it. I think that definitely qualifies as sufficient detail :-) And the remaining 2% are things where the community found the level of guidance in the proposal sufficient. I have no worries in this respect.

While requiring a decade of experience on that new thing might be going too far :-) I think some level of detail is needed. Do you need all contracts everywhere, ready to be signed? No. Do you need to have a clear idea of what you are creating? Yes. For a new entity, a charter would definitely be in my list of ready things to have.
