Proposed timeline and process for IPR comments
by Alissa Cooper 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

I put together the following proposed timeline for the handling of the IANA IPR comments: ---- Sept 12 - Public comment period ends Sept 14 - Jorge/Sam/Josh produce initial assessment of how to address comments received and redlined agreements (if appropriate). Lawyers to share those on iana-ipr(a)nro.net <mailto:iana-ipr@nro.net>. Sept 15-16 - Communities discuss comment assessment and redlines internally and raise issues for group discussion on iana-ipr(a)nro.net <mailto:iana-ipr@nro.net>. Sept 19 - IANA IPR group call (2 hours) to discuss comment assessment and redlines. Sept 21 - IANA IPR group call to finalize agreements, if not already finalized. Sept 22 - IETF Trust meets to approve signing Communities approve signing Sept ?? - ICANN Board meeting to approve signing (not sure if Board meeting is required, but current schedule shows a regular Board meeting on Sept 17, which is too early) Week of Sept 26 - Agreements signed CCG members announced —— Obviously some of this depends on the comments we receive. So far he have received just one, a supportive comment from the NRO. [1] But in any event the suggestion is that since the legal folks did so well working through various compromises before the public comment period, that we would ask them to produce the initial assessment of the public comments. This timeline also gives us a bit of a buffer at the end in case things slip by a day or two. I think it would be good to get rough agreement around the timeline because it implies that the various parties will need to have their own processes for final sign-off, and those need to be scheduled in advance. I will put this on our agenda for tomorrow.

IANA IPR Follow-Up Call on Thursday, 18 August @ 17:00 UTC Participants: Alan Barrett Alissa Cooper Andrew Sullivan Greg Shatan Jari Arkko Jonathan Robinson Josh Hofheimer (Sidley) Ray Pelletier Russ Housley Samantha Eisner Ted Hardie Trang Nguyen Yael Resnick (Sidley) Brenda Brewer Nathalie Vergnolle Yuko Green Notes: Introduction No public comments received yet. 1. Outstanding items in the community agreement • Names community signatory: - ICANN currently the front runner. CWG actively exploring this option. - Discussed if/how this could affect other parties/other parts of the agreement - Point will be further discussed once it has been further looked into by CWG/Sidley 2. Outstanding items in the license agreement • Definition of Names Community (1.24) - Currently TBD in the agreement - Item being discussed by CWG Action: CWG to provide definition when it becomes available • Arbitration items: number of arbitrators and location (7.4) - Item being discussed 3. Timing for CCG member appointments • NRO expecting to be ready by end of September, when the agreement will be signed • IETF expressed concern that there may not be sufficent time to run the normal process for selection of CCG members, and an interim solution may be necessary • CWG working towards having a solution in place before end of September 4. Approach to establishment of CCG operating procedures • Cf. art 2.4 of Community agreement 5. Future call scheduling ACTION (Staff): Weekly calls to be scheduled for next 3 weeks (preferably after CWG calls) Chat: Yuko Green:Hi everybody, welcome to IANA IPR follow-up call! Jonathan Robinson:We do not have scroll rights on the doc in the Adobe Yuko Green:I just released the scroll rights Jonathan Robinson:Thank you Yuko Greg Shatan:Sorry to be delayed. Greg Shatan:TBD has been incorrporated as Technical Buyers of Domains, Inc. Alissa Cooper:lulz Jonathan Robinson:@Greg. Good point. I had converged Names Community and Names Services in my thinking. Josh Hofheimer (Sidley):There is nothing for the Names Community to sign in this document. Greg Shatan:Understood, but we still need to say who they are.... Greg Shatan:or who we are. Greg Shatan:Since it's not a notice that needs to come from a signatory party, there's a little more flexibility in saying who taht is. Alan Barrett:how wrong would it be to say Names Community = {some list of ICANN subsets, including at least ccNSO + gNSO} Jonathan Robinson:@Alan. Discussion along those lines took place today but it is not settled e.g. there are a reasonable number of ccTLDs outside of the ccNSO Greg Shatan:Whoever it is, is only the messenger. Ted Hardie:@Jonathan would it be fair to say that they are "that portion of the Name Community that picks the representives for CCG"? Ted Hardie:Name/Names Jonathan Robinson:@Ted. Possibly but work in progress andrew sullivan:Ok here andrew sullivan:Yeah, we could definitely do an interim thing in time andrew sullivan:I agree Ted Hardie:Sorry, the mic claims it is live; I will log out and long back in andrew sullivan:I think that my main point was in line with what Jari is suggesting andrew sullivan:It doesn't seem to me that there'll be any thing actually to do on day 1 Jonathan Robinson:@Alissa. Got it. Thank-you Ted Hardie:I think interim is the wrong formulation. Ted Hardie:I think we can make appointments, and set deadlines for new appointments Greg Shatan:"Initial"? andrew sullivan:we don't need to set such deadlines, though andrew sullivan:because the communities can remove and replace as they want Ted Hardie:If need be, I believe the IETF/IAB can do that. Jari Arkko:fwiw I am happy with the interim approach, certainly could be done from IETF side. Jonathan Robinson:Andrew faded for me too andrew sullivan:Sorry. My point was just that I thought we'd decided this in andrew sullivan:the earlier principles discussion andrew sullivan:and I am not sure why we want to reopen it andrew sullivan:none here Jonathan Robinson:OK with me Ray Pelletier:concur Ted Hardie:No objections Greg Shatan:Indubitably. Jonathan Robinson:Thursday this type of time typically follows CWG meeting so names are "up to date" Jonathan Robinson:Thanks all Ray Pelletier:at first meeting CCG to adopt procedures andrew sullivan:thanks! Bye all Ted Hardie:Thanks, bye all Alan Barrett:thanks

Possible Signatory for Names Community in Community Agreement
by Greg Shatan 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

All, The CWG will move forward with ICANN as a possible signatory to the Community Agreement. The preamble to the Community Agreement should delete the blank underscore before ("Names Community") and replace it with [the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]. To be clear, the square brackets should appear in the document. This should be accompanied by a footnote, which will have the following text: CWG-Stewardship is considering the appropriate entity to be the signatory to the Community Agreement on behalf of the Names Community. At the request of the CWG-Stewardship, ICANN has indicated that it could serve as the counterparty to the Community Agreement on behalf of the Names Community and ICANN has been included in this draft. ICANN (or another counterparty) would be subject to process and criteria as determined by CWG-Stewardship. If you have any questions, please respond to this email. Thanks! Greg
