Notes
1. All DT members present + Kim Davies ( IANA )
2. Prep Monday 6 pm UTC ( delivery time discussion paper DTC )
3. Document Discussion
- · GOOGLE DOC Staffan's changes, reflect discussion with ccTLDs ove rlast days
- · Suggestion to go over text, in particular insertions from SSAC 069
Changes section a
Kim: the way changes are presented is artefact from IANA contract
1.1. is superset of 1.2 ( Changes in area 1.1 automatically result in changes in area 1.2.)
Point 2. Substantial changes for TLD
Kim suggest text for Google text
1. Changes an appointed registry makes: 1.1 Changes to the root zone file (technical changes published in the DNS) 1.2 Changes to the root zone database (updates to technical and contact data published on the IANA website and via WHOIS protocols)2. Changes of registry appointments (i.e. delegation of new TLDs, transfer of existing TLDs, removing delegation of existing TLDs)
Donna: capture in table is what is currently situation and what needs to change as result of transition
See table C2.9.a.b
Martin: Caution about involvement of the CSC (third parties) in sensitive area of ccTLD delegations and redelgations
Also similar concern with regard to gTLD delegation and redelgation
As suggested by Donna: no role for CSC in delegation and redelegation of TLDs
Q: will it be challenged during the meeting?
Note Potential overlap with Authorization:
No role of CSC with regard to Authorization, only lead to delays
- Maybe only role in MONITORING of Authorization.
- · Current reporting:
- Monthly reporting only seen by NTIA (confidential) ( DNSES key rollover, changes
Question: how would CSC deal with confidential reports.
In some cases ( issues with regard to individual)
Public reports:
- IETF report
- Affidavit report
- Dashboard ( root zone changes report)
- · Point 3.2 (SSAC 069 report). In the course of regular business of IANA need correct licenses to conduct work.
Pro-active
certification, implies third party, understand
Sarah: Government related issues, and should be treated as such
Defer issue certification to DT OFAc licensing etc
- · CSC discussion
Sentences on cusotmers in Composition section and internal method of working
Sentences, on SLE/SLA are referred in table. Role of CSC is to monitor SLE/SLA.
Include Placeholder language.
Martin: CSC could organise discussion. Primary role to get information out of IANA, and making it available to wider community if reviewing at SLE/SLA, initiate discussion.
Sarah: SLE are set, and then somebody needs to check against these criteria.
For monitoring CSC members look at their members
Often forgotten communicating with broader community
- ·
Kim: Does group have a sense of scope what falls under Naming function?
Not just root zone
also includes: .INT and .ARPA
And auxiliary functions, IDN Table repository
- · Question: If CSC does not take these on, who will?
In curren tversion 2.1 of proposal .INT and IDN Table are included. David Conrad reading through document
.ARPA addressed in IETF proposal
.INT and IDN-> Specific DT s
- · Kurt: CSC would be vehicle for changing SLA
CSC on review
Stephanie, there is another DT for this
Should be role for the CSC, ensure it does not fall in the cracks
CSC and appeals mechanism
Strike section, part of letter'
Breach of IFO functions
Map against Kurt did.
Donna: porposed text questions some of the text . Do GAP analysis between the two.
Note also DT M (escalation), and need to coordinate
Kurt: suggest to look at Donna's document
Escalation process is complex to design, and implement
Real escalation process needs to be improved over time
Include Placeholder Breach by IFO
Overview of Consensus elements
Donna present document
What are key-points what CSC would do.
Includes mapping to sections of template DT C ( section A-J)
Includes and builds on Sarah's table
Area not covered C (Stephanie) and D (Martin)
Template Marika does not provide structure to tell story
Stephanie: Add specific Placeholders section, to show waiting for further input
Use Kurt's org chart
Staffan: Good way to present in Istanbul
Area's it may be challenged. Escalation
Martin: Possible they might be challenged.
Is current table, key of what we are doing. Current escalation process, is internal in CSC,
External Escalation is once issue for other DT
Kurt: Suggest to use overview as starting point for deliverable. Get sense of group core is right
Donna: work through document to seek agreement,
Section A: Agreement
Section B: Include monitoring the IANA and ensuring (agreed)
Also suggested Oversight of the performance
Section C: Restucture to reflect: Engage in cooperative communication ir order to ...
Section D: Agreed
Section E: change to IANA Naming Function, possibly broader then direct customer
Kim: more often than annual.
Issue: intermediating between IETF and community on implementation
Emerging technologies and services and periodic reviews as separate point
Monthly meetings to include emerging technologies
Annual meeting, is getting people together, and consider
Agreement to split in two bullets
Suggested txt:
The CSC will engage with IANA, the direct customers of the IANA naming function, and the ICANN community to discuss emerging technologies and issues that might impact the provision of IANA services. • (E2-> F) The CSC shall hold an annual meeting with the IANA Functions Operator, the direct customers of the IANA Naming Functions, and the ICANN community to discuss the performance of the IANA Naming functions and any changes to the services that are underway or forthcoming.
Section F: rather call it operation/addressing problems,
Identify that CSC may get involved b=in between meetings, second four stage process ( STRAWMAN), it is multi-stage escalation process is recommend,
Needs to evolve over time (evolutionary approach)
Section G: The CSC could be initial point of context (not escalation)
The reality of process today: current escalation is not always need,
What is expectation if IANA has tried to address issue. Mediation point
There has to be some criteria/ parameters around complaints. Mindful if complaint was already
Remove initial,
Strike last sentence (The CSC .... and its processes)
Include reference to ccNSO/GNSO when relevant
Section H:
Different numbers in different proposals
Why is SSAC member?
Proposal is minimum composition
In other document reference to direct customers
Include minimal composition
However keep as small as possible
- Registry operator are full of technical/operator capable people, SSAC could be asked as for advise
- Go forward with lean configuration
- CSC correspond with larger groups
Makes sense to have communication with SSAC (liaison role) useful, in particular when isse beyond one group purview
Alternative approach look at principles
Section I:
Be clear what purpose of additionals and liaisons are: and not leave it up to CSC to appoint.
At same time additional people may be useful
Reference in Underlyimng document to liaison as "temporary". Note in other context permanent
Attach liaisons to CSC from GAC, ALAC, non-contracted part GNSO
Section J: Include marker, refer to mechanisms identified in CCWG Accountability
Stephanie suggest additional bullet: The CSC shall facilitate public comment periods and other community participation opportunities in the event that changes are proposed that would affect oversight of the IANA Naming Functions.
Agreed

Chat Transcript
Brenda Brewer:Welcome to the DTC Meeting on 20 March.
Brenda Brewer:Loud and Clear Bernie!
B:+1
B:how does one change their name?
Brenda Brewer:I don't know...let me see if I can figure out.
Bernard Turcotte - Staff:got it
Brenda Brewer::)
Donna Austin, RySG:Hi all, just dialling in
Staffan Jonson:Hi All
Martin Boyle, Nominet:Hi all
Martin Boyle, Nominet:fine by me
Bart Boswinkel:It is scrollable
Donna Austin, RySG:Does everyone have the other doc I sent overnight?
Martin Boyle, Nominet:I have them both!
Martin Boyle, Nominet:clarity on what is actually done from Kim, please!
Kurt 2:Could everyone please mute
Kurt 2:What Martin is recommending is essentially maintaining the status quo; if Martin's opinion is challenged our position should be that we should seek to maintaint the status quo in every case where possible
Kurt 2:Even in authorization, the authorization function verifies that IANA follows it processes and does not get into the content of the redelegation request
Martin Boyle, Nominet:@Kurt: I like status quo for starting point for most things
Sarah Falvey - RySG:+! to Kurt
Sarah Falvey - RySG:+1
Kim Davies:Suggested tweaked wording for 1 and 2>
Kim Davies:1. Changes an appointed registry makes: 1.1 Changes to the root zone file (technical changes published in the DNS) 1.2 Changes to the root zone database (updates to technical and contact data published on the IANA website and via WHOIS protocols)2. Changes of registry appointments (i.e. delegation of new TLDs, transfer of existing TLDs, removing delegation of existing TLDs)
Sarah Falvey - RySG:would we want the CSC to do this?
Donna Austin, RySG:@Sarah - I don't think so
Kurt 2:Sanctions = a monetary fine?
Donna Austin, RySG:I thought there was a group dealing with OFAC stuff
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):i thought so too
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):if not it makes sense to me as a separate DT
Kim Davies:The CSC may have an interest in knowing about this issue insofar as it is impacting the IANA's operators ability to do its work, rather than be involved in the specifics of the process
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):placeholder it for now
Sarah Falvey - RySG:as we say in the ITU - bracket that text :)
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):taking our processes from ITU now...suspect ;)
Bart Boswinkel:Ther e si sDT OFAC, but has lower priority
Martin Boyle, Nominet:agree
Sarah Falvey - RySG:ok that makes sense
Sarah Falvey - RySG:thanks
Kurt 2:I don't know why my mic isn't working
Kurt 2:I think one of the more improtant roles is adapting to change: SLAs will change, the ecalation processes wil lhave to be tested and revamped and so on. We should make an accomodation to change all these things. I think the CSC role in adapting to change is just as important as the monitoring role
Martin Boyle, Nominet:.int has its own DT
Sarah Falvey - RySG:I think another group is dealing with these issues, no?
Donna Austin, RySG:Agree Kurt
Martin Boyle, Nominet:Agree Kurt, but I would want this to be a wider discussion. Not just a CSC discussion and decision
Donna Austin, RySG:Agree with Bernie, we should capture to make sure it does not fall throught the cracks.
Kurt 2:the CSC would be the vehicle for changing SLAs - getting input for TLDs and negotiating with IANA
Kurt 2:my mic is broke
Sarah Falvey - RySG:Agree with Donna
Kurt:ready to go
Donna Austin, RySG:Let's get Kurt to speak to this point now and then we can come back to my doc
Bernard Turcotte - Staff:@Kurt +1
Bart Boswinkel:Scrollable
Kurt:first line is perfect
Kurt:"Responsible for monitoring performance"
Martin Boyle, Nominet:nice one Kurt
Bernard Turcotte - Staff:item B OVERSIGHT of the performance of the IANA naming functions
Bart Boswinkel:@ Stephanie lowerd your hand, please rasie again
Bart Boswinkel:if needed
Martin Boyle, Nominet:agree Stephaie
Kurt:EVERYTHING will evolve over time
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):• E The CSC will engage with IANA, the direct customers of the IANA naming function, and the ICANN community to discuss emerging technologies and issues that might impact the provision of IANA services. • F The CSC shall hold an annual meeting with the IANA Functions Operator, the direct customers of the IANA Naming Functions, and the ICANN community to discuss the performance of the IANA Naming functions and any changes to the services that are underway or forthcoming.
Kim Davies:Our experience is anyone can be an initial point of contact, we can't control that :)
Martin Boyle, Nominet:sort things out bilaterally is always best
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):i would also like to bullet out what we want as "placeholders"
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):then i can draft those and recirculate
Martin Boyle, Nominet:agree bernie
Kurt:1) Why is SSAC a member? What is role?
Kim Davies:If the scope is determined to include non-root functions (.INT etc.), it is worth considering how those communities would find the composition.
Kurt:2) Also mention that the CSC will consult with the TLD community as needed
Sarah Falvey - RySG:I think having an SSAC liasion makes sense
Sarah Falvey - RySG:to the extend that that group is proving broader security guidance it makes sense to be kept appraised of that (I am thinking about when things like DNSSEC rolled out, etc.)
Donna Austin, RySG:Sorry everyone, I just lost voice. I need to dial back in
Donna Austin, RySG:Bernie then Kurt
Martin Boyle, Nominet:RSSAC &SSAC as liaisons would be best
Donna Austin, RySG:i'm back
Donna Austin, RySG:sorry i missed most of this discussion
Kurt:If Martin doesn't like this, maybe we can adjust it to say that Bylaws will be written governing CSC operations, confguration, etc
Kurt:...and how changes are made going forward
Kurt:No more liaisons
Kurt:you will never get rid of them
Kurt:just make a mechanism for adding them
Bart Boswinkel:@ Stepanie, Donna old hands?
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):I suggest an additional bullet: The CSC shall facilitate public comment periods and other community participation opportunities in the event that changes are proposed that would affect oversight of the IANA Naming Functions.
Staffan Jonson:Kurt:"you will never get rid of them" :-D
Bernard Turcotte - Staff:+1
Martin Boyle, Nominet:Stephanie +1
Martin Boyle, Nominet:I do not promise to read anything this evening!
Martin Boyle, Nominet:I'll look on Sunday
Martin Boyle, Nominet:+1 Donna
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):i think for now we should just be circulating this overview document
Stephanie Duchesneau (Neustar):keep the google doc in our back pocket and build it out as we discuss in istanbul
Martin Boyle, Nominet:use overview as our key doc to Istanbul
Bernard Turcotte - Staff:@Donna +1
Martin Boyle, Nominet:I'll be in Istanbul
Martin Boyle, Nominet:For the CCWG
Donna Austin, RySG:Thanks Bart, it's a good suggestion.
Brenda Brewer:I will send Doodle for Monday call.
Martin Boyle, Nominet:thanks all & bye: see you next week!
Bernard Turcotte - Staff:bye
Kim Davies:Cheers
