Deadlines for two key public comment periods fast approaching

The deadlines for the public comment periods for the two proposals that will soon be forwarded to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) are fast approaching, with just over one week left for stakeholders to submit their views on the contents of the proposals:

1. The Consolidated IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal by the ICG
2. The 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations of the CCWG-Accountability

In addition, to enable the community the necessary time to prepare for the transition of stewardship after the proposals have been accepted by the community and NTIA, NTIA has announced that it will extend the IANA Functions Contract with ICANN for one year, ending 30 September 2016.

CCWG-Accountability

The public comment period for the 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations by the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) closes on 12 September 2015. The proposal is now available in all 6 United Nations languages plus Portuguese (see links below). To date, nine public comments have been received. One of the submissions, from theICANN Board, notes that the Board will develop its own set of comprehensive comments and suggestions on the proposal based on:

• Briefings sought from ICANN's external counsel's inputs on the proposal. The briefing, by Jones Day, has been submitted to the public comment mailing list
• Analysis by independent third-party experts on governance on the governance impacts of the proposal, including considerations of how the proposal may impact the balance of the stakeholders in the multistakeholder model within ICANN today

A subset of ICANN Board members met with ICANN staff members during the week of 24 August to discuss the CCWG-Accountability proposal. Following this, two teleconferences were organized for the CCWG-Accountability and the ICANN Board to discuss the proposal in more detail. The first teleconference will be held on 31 August, where the CCWG-Accountability will brief the Board on the 2nd draft proposal. The second teleconference, to be held 2 September, will be an opportunity for the Board to share its feedback on the proposal. Observers can listen in to the teleconference via Adobe Connect.

The Board will submit additional comments based on the above inputs to the public comment forum before the comment period ends. Meanwhile, the CCWG-Accountability's legal counsel, Sidley Austin and Adler & Colvin, are conducting a preliminary review of the Jones Day briefing, and hope to submit the preliminary review to the CCWG-Accountability on 1 September.

How to submit a public comment before the 12 September deadline

1. Consider the CCWG-Accountability's three questions when developing your submissions

• Do you agree that the CCWG-Accountability proposal enhances ICANN's accountability?
• Are there elements of this proposal that would prevent you from approving it transmission to Chartering Organizations?
• Does this proposal meet the requirements set forward by the CWG-Stewardship?

1. Send an email to comments-ccwg-accountability-03aug15@icann.org
   When you receive an automatically generated email asking you to confirm your submission, please follow the instructions in the email to ensure your comments are submitted to the archive of public comments.

Extension of IANA Functions Contract

On 17 August, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that it had informed the U.S. Congress that it planned to extend the IANA Functions Contract with ICANN for one year until September 30, 2016. In the announcement, NTIA explains that:

"Beyond 2016, we have options to extend the contract for up to three additional years if needed. This one-year extension will provide the community with the time it needs to finish its work."

IANA-related intellectual property rights

An area of ongoing discussion related to the ICG's Consolidated IANA Stewardship Proposal has to do with the future of where the IANA-related trademarks and domain names will be held – referred to in the discussions as the IANA IPR. Of the three operational community proposals, only the numbering resources community, in its proposal developed by the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal Team (CRISP Team), documented a concrete suggestion for keeping the holder of IANA's IPR separate from the operator of IANA functions. The CRISP Team proposal states:

"It is the preference of the Internet Number Community that the IANA trademark and theIANA.ORG domain name be transferred to an entity independent of the IANA Numbering Services Operator, in order to ensure that these assets are used in a non-discriminatory manner for the benefit of the entire community. From the Internet Number Community's perspective, the IETFTrust would be an acceptable candidate for this role."

The protocol parameters community, via the IANAPLAN working group, found this an acceptable way forward and the IETF Trust confirmed it was willing to take on the task, if requested. The names community proposal, developed by the Cross Community Working Group Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship), did not contain any specific proposal about how to handle the IPR. On 15 August, the ICANN Board announced that ICANN is:

"…Prepared to transfer full ownership of the IANA-related trademarks to a neutral third party mutually agreed among the operational communities with the understanding that ICANN, as the current IANA Functions Operator, will be granted license to those trademarks and ICANN will maintain operational control of the IANA.ORG domain for as long as ICANN remains the IANAFunctions Operator."

On their 20 August call, the CWG-Stewardship agreed that the IANA IPR can be held a by neutral third party. The CWG-Stewardship sees its position on the IANA IPR as consistent with the other two proposals. Requirements for the neutral third party can be coordinated with the other communities in implementation. The CWG-Stewardship committed to issuing a statement before the close of the ICGpublic comment.

Drafting of updated ICANN Bylaws

Both the proposals of the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability include changes to ICANN's Bylaws. Below is a summary of the most recent developments:

• On 11 August, Sidley Austin sent the CWG-Stewardship a draft matrix of ICANN Bylaws, designated and set out in the CWG-Stewardship Final Proposal.
• On 19 August, the co-Chairs of the CCWG-Accountability formally requested ICANN's general counsel, John Jeffrey, to begin working with the CCWG-Accountability's external counsel to draft language to include the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) reviews into ICANN Bylaws, as defined by the CCWG-Accountability and in line with the agreed-upon process (see attached for full reference).

The transition of IANA's stewardship is now another step nearer as two key proposals are opened for public comment:

• The Consolidated IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal by the ICG
• The 2nd Draft Report on Work Stream 1 Recommendations by the CCWG-Accountability

The final version of both these proposals will eventually be submitted to the ICANN Board of Directors, who will transfer them to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). More information on these proposals, and how you can comment on their contents, is below.

Consolidated IANA stewardship transition proposal now open for public comment

On 31 July, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) announced the start of the public comment period for the Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multistakeholder Community. The proposal consists of the three proposals that have already reached consensus among the Domain Names, Numbering Resources and Protocol Parameters communities, as well as a report by the ICG, which includes an assessment of whether the three proposals:

• Were developed using open and inclusive community processes, and whether they achieved consensus;
• Are complete and clear;
• Are compatible and interoperable, provide appropriate and properly supported accountability mechanisms, and are workable; and
• Together meet the NTIA's criteria.

The ICG notes that as the proposals have already undergone extensive public comment and discussionamongst the three operational communities, this public comment period is focused on how the three proposals work together as a whole and how it fares against the criteria established by NTIA for the transition.

The proposal will be available for public comment for 40 days. Following community input during the comment period, the ICG will decide whether to recommend that NTIA approve the transition proposal.

The proposal will be available shortly in all six official United Nations (UN) languages and Portuguese, but is currently only available in English. The news release about the proposal, however, is available now in these seven languages, with all translations linked from the English version.

CCWG-Accountability

On 3 August, the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) released its 2nd Draft Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations. Since the first version of the proposal was released on 4 May, the CCWG-Accountability has taken a very open and agile approach to finding creative solutions to problems identified in previous iterations of their proposals. The second version also addresses a number of outstanding issues not fully fleshed out in the first draft. The most significant changes between the two drafts are:

• Mechanism to empower the ICANN community

The mechanism has undergone significant changes: in the May draft, there were two alternatives presented – member model and delegate model; following feedback received during the public comment period, the CCWG-Accountability brainstormed alternatives at ICANN53 in June, resulting in the development of an Empowered SO/AC model. Resulting from subsequent discussions at a face-to-face meeting in Paris in July, this second draft proposal presents the Community Mechanism as Sole Member Model.

• Four additional stress tests

The new stress tests have been added following suggestions contained in the Larry Strickling's 16 June blog post on the NTIA website.

• Refinements to key elements contained in the first draft

These refinements include:

• ICANN Mission & Core Values
• Removal of individual ICANN Board Directors and recall of the entire Board
• Independent Review Process
• Community power regarding ICANN's budget
• Work plan for Work Stream 2 (including adding a commitment to human rights in the ICANNBylaws)
• Implementation plan for Work Stream 1

The proposal also includes "minority views", which are statements by CCWG-Accountability members and participants who object to recommendations contained in the report. Additional minority views received after 1 August will be available here.

The proposal will be available for public comment for 40 days.

After the public comment period closes, the CCWG-Accountability aims to finalize its Work Stream 1 proposal for submission to its Chartering Organizations (GNSO, ALAC, ccNSO, GAC, ASO and SSAC) and then to the ICANN Board of Directors during or shortly after ICANN54 in Dublin. The proposal will then be submitted to the NTIA, along with the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal. After Work Stream 1 is completed, the CCWG-Accountability will focus on Work Stream 2, which consists of accountability enhancements that do not need to be in place for the IANA stewardship transition to occur.

Volume 7: An Update on IANA Stewardship Discussions

ICANN is compiling updates on the community discussions and progress of the IANA Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANN Accountability Processes. This information is positioned to help inform interested stakeholders in the recent developments in the processes, upcoming key dates, latest documents and drafts and a snapshot of any news coverage that occurs over the timeframe.

CWG-Stewardship

The final proposal by the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) was forwarded to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) following its approval by the CWG-Stewardship's five chartering organizations. Communication of formal approval by the chartering organizations, including any accompanying remarks, has now been published on the CWG-Stewardship's website:

• GAC approval
• SSAC approval
• GNSO approval
• ccNSO approval
• ALAC approval

Chartering organizations approved the proposal on the understanding that the necessary accountability mechanisms will be included in the final proposal for Work Stream 1 of the Cross-Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability).

While the names proposal has now been forwarded to the ICG, the CWG-Stewardship will not disband yet. Outstanding work still to be conducted includes:

• Coordinating the issue of the IANA trademark with the protocol parameters and names communities1.
• Finalizing the work on Service Level Expectations (SLEs)
• Responding to any queries arising from the ICG's efforts to integrate all three community proposals into a combined IANA stewardship proposal
• Monitoring the CCWG-Accountability's final Work Stream 1 proposal to confirm it contains all that is required for the transition of stewardship of the names function to take place
• Participating as appropriate in the implementation process of the names component of the proposal

The CWG-Stewardship will continue to retain external legal counsel to assist in responding to any questions or input from the other operational communities the ICG on issues, such as the IANAtrademark issue, and in developing an implementation plan for the proposal.

CCWG-Accountability

During the public comment period on the initial draft report of Work Stream 1 accountability enhancements, there were a number of community concerns about the proposal to move ICANN to a mandatory member or “designator” model. In response to these concerns, onsite at ICANN 53, the CCWG-Accountability Co-chairs encouraged all of its members to pitch any alternative model that might better suit the needs of the different communities that together create the ICANN community.

A potential compromise model called the “Empowered SO/AC” model emerged, in which eachSupporting Organization (SO) and Advisory Committee (AC) has the choice of if, and when, to become a member (or designator) of ICANN. Under this model, all SOs and ACs would, by default, have all the benefits of the enhanced ICANN accountability framework, excluding the ability to use the courts as a method of enforcement. However, the power of enforceability could be claimed at any time, should anSO or AC choose to do so, by changing the SO/AC's status to become a formal member (or designator) of ICANN. Initial indications are that both the Designator and Member models could be applied under the Empowered SO/AC model, and the CCWG-Accountability is seeking legal advice on the most appropriate way forward. As the CCWG-Accountability is concentrating its efforts on determining an agreeable model before the target start date for its next public comment period at the end of July, the Co-chairs have announced that the summary of comments on the first comment period, originally due 29 June, will now be completed by early August.

The CCWG-Accountability has created a third Work Party, WP3, to examine issues that have been identified following the publication of the initial draft report, including staff and management accountability, SO/AC accountability and enhancement of diversity. The CCWG-Accountability is also developing a process for working with ICANN on drafting Bylaws associated with Work Stream 1 accountability enhancements to ensure the Bylaws can be adopted in a timely manner.

ICG

The ICG completed its assessment of the names proposal submitted by the CWG-Stewardship on its call #19 on 8 July. Drafts of the assessments are available in the ICG's Dropbox. It has also received a formal objection to the names proposal from a member of the community who had chosen not to participate in the CWG-Stewardship's work. The objection is on the basis that the final version of the names proposal was not presented for public comment before its presentation to the CWG-Stewardship chartering organizations for approval. As the ICG has a policy of non-interference with the consensus development processes of the three operational communities, the ICG is discussing passing the message back to the CWG-Stewardship for their comment.  

The ICG's Communications Sub-Group has developed a communications strategy to engage the multistakeholder community as broadly as possible when the combined proposal is released for public comment. The communications strategy includes holding webinars to brief the community, producing graphics and slides to provide high-level overviews of the proposal, and translations of key materials.

Timeline for stewardship transition

On 6 July, the ICG replied to the NTIA's letter of 6 May, which asked for information about the timeline for completing the transition. The ICG noted there are three remaining phases of the transition process:

• Transition proposal finalization – the ICG hopes to have the final proposal delivered to the NTIAvia the ICANN Board around the time of ICANN 54, 18-22 October 2015, or shortly thereafter. TheICG considers this an optimistic timeline.
• U.S. Government evaluation – Based on the ICG's understanding of comments made by the NTIAduring ICANN 53, this phase would take 4-5 months, and would be completed around March 2016.
• Implementation of prerequisites

Based on these three phases, the ICG has suggested to the NTIA that the earliest date at which the transition of stewardship is likely to be completed is July 2016.

The Co-chairs of the CCWG-Accountability have also replied to the NTIA, noting that the July 2016 completion date for their work is a best-case scenario, and that it may be necessary to extend the implementation of Work Stream 1 accountability mechanisms through to September 2016.

CWG-Stewardship

Following the closure of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship) general public comment period on 20 May (with comments by those relying on translations of the proposal having a closing date of 26 May), the ICANN CWG-Stewardship staff support has compiled the comments into the following key synthesis documents:

• Draft compilation of major trends in the public comments received (1 June)
• Public Comment Review Tool Action Items (26 May) – identifies which public comments relate to which Design Team's work, with proposed actions in response
• CWG - Public Comment Review Tool (26 May)

The final staff report is still pending publication. The 49 submissions received before the close of the comment period on 20 May can be found here and can be downloaded as a single ZIP file. Additional comments submitted beyond the 20 May can be found on the comments page archive. The CWG-Stewardship plans to publish its final version of its draft proposal on 8 June.

The CWG-Stewardship will hold two webinars to help enable the community to better understand this final draft version of the proposal

• 11 June from 6:00 – 7:30 UTC (time zone converter here)
• 11 June from 13:00 – 14:30 UTC (time zone converter here)

Transition timeline and implementation

Following a request by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to thechairs of the ICG [PDF 575 KB] and CCWG-Accountability for information on projected dates for completing the stewardship transition, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) wrote to the three operational communities (here, here and here) for more information on how long it would take to implement each of the three components of the transition proposal. The IETF Working Group on Planning for the IANA/NTIA Transition (IANAPLAN) has responded, stating they believe the protocol parameters component could be implemented promptly, pending more information about the possible involvement of the protocol parameters community in the CWG-Stewardship's proposed Post-TransitionIANA (PTI).

The announcement of Fadi Chehadé's departure as ICANN CEO in 2016

On 21 May, ICANN's CEO, Fadi Chehadé announced that he would leave his position in March 2016. Following his announcement, the NTIA released a short statement, noting, "A successful transition does not depend on the leadership of a single individual, but rather the engagement of the global multistakeholder community working collaboratively to ensure that the Internet remains open, secure, and resilient."

IANA-related discussions at WSIS Forum 2015 and EuroDIG 2015

• On 28 May, the ICANN Cross-Community Working Group on Internet Governance organized a session at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2015, titled IANAStewardship Transition – A Live Example of a Multi-Stakeholder Process.
• On 5 June, the EuroDIG held a session, The IANA Stewardship Transition: A Test Case for Internet Governance?

U.S. Government processes related to the IANA stewardship transition

• On 5 June 2014, The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked by the Chairs of the U.S. Government's House Energy and Commerce Committee to review the NTIA's plan to transition its oversight of the IANA functions.
• In response to this, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team submitted awritten response to the GAO [PDF 60 KB] on May 12.
• Also on May 12, a revised version of 2014's Defending Internet Freedom Act of 2014 (H.R. 5737) was submitted. This year's version, Defending Internet Freedom Act (H.R. 2251), is, in contrast to the previous version of the bill, supportive of the global multistakeholder efforts to develop a transition plan for IANA's stewardship, but still would require specific conditions to be met before theNTIA could complete the transition.
• On June 3, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 2578). It contains similar language to the previous Act, which prevented government funds being used by the NTIA to complete the transition of its stewardship over IANA until the end of the financial year in September. The Act next goes to the U.S. Senate for its consideration.
