IANA Stewardship Transition, Report of ICG Conference Call October 29

The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) held its sixth conference call on Wednesday, 29 October 2014 from 12:00-13:00 UTC.

The sole item on the Agenda: Procurement of the Secretariat for the ICG

Secretariat candidates' identities were not disclosed, but there are two final candidates. Decision to be finalized on or before November 15, 2014.

Additional discussion concerned future calls and meetings (dates/times) and the uncertainty about the ICANN meeting in Marrakech. The ICG has handed off substantive IANA transition work to "three communities" (names, numbers, protocols) it maintains are the ones affected by the IANA Stewardship Transition via RFPs (Requests for Proposals) with a tight timeline in order to submit its final proposal to the ICANN Board of Directors for transmission to the US Department of Commerce's NTIA well before the "final deadline" of September, 2015.

Work has started in the "three communities"--e.g., IETF's (protocol parameters) latest draft is at: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-ianaplan-icg-response-02.txt--but according to ICG member Keith Drazek (via chat window during the ICG call): "I would also point out that the Naming community is struggling with the January [15, 2015] target date for delivery, so scheduling should take that into account." 

The ICG timeline  originally indicated that the ICG would submit its proposal directly to the NTIA. Subsequently, the NTIA indicated that the proposal was to be submitted via the ICANN Board of Directors which has led to concerns that the ICANN Board may modify (or even reject) the final ICG proposal. During the conference call, ICG member Lynn St. Amour briefly discussed her draft of "ICG's expectations regarding the proposal submission" (excerpts below):

Milton Mueller on ICANN, IANA Functions, and IANA Transition (video)

Milton Mueller (GNSO) -

Milton Mueller on ICANN and the IANA Transition (video above) Published on Oct 17, 2014
Milton Mueller discusses his representation of the GNSO on the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) during the group’s second meeting in Istanbul, 6 September 2014.

Read also: Cauldron part 2: Is the names IANA compatible with the others? | IGP Blog: ".... the twin assumptions that 1) the IANA functions operator must be a single entity combining names, protocols and numbers, and 2) that the single entity should be inside a corporation [ICANN] that is responsible for policy making for domain names not only has practical problems – it poses major risks to the future autonomy of the internet. Although it has helped to uncover these dilemmas, the ICG process of allowing each community to develop its own IANA transition proposal actually minimizes these dilemmas. If all of these communities were thrown into the same cauldron to work out their desired transition plan, the temperature would surely rise even higher and the conflicts would be even more intense."

WEF Netmundial Initiative Meeting Feedback Positive; Next ICG Meeting

The World Economic Forum’s Netmundial Initiative meeting yesterday, has received mostly positive feedback, example:

Truly open meetings really make a difference. What was positive about #WEF #NETMundial meeting is that everything was discussed in the open.
— Renata Avila (@avilarenata) August 28, 2014

Statement from U.S. Secretary Of Commerce Penny Pritzker on World Economic Forum’s Netmundial Initiative | Department of Commerce: U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker issued the following statement on the launch of the NetMundial Initiative on Internet governance cooperation announced by the World Economic Forum in Geneva:

“I want to thank the World Economic Forum for taking on the important task of facilitating discussions for the global Internet community on how to apply the NetMundial Principles in practice. I hope the framework for these discussions is open and transparent and allows for the participation of all interested parties. These discussions also should consider how to build bridges between the NetMundial initiative and existing governance institutions and processes, including the Internet Governance Forum, taking care to complement and bolster them through its work. The U.S. Department of Commerce looks forward to working with all the stakeholders on this important effort.”

In addition, the video stream quality was excellent for all sessions. A handout at the meeting: The NETmundial Initiative Action Dialogues Overview (pdf); other information can be found here and here.

NTIA IANA Functions' Stewardship Transition

The IANA Coordination Group was convened by ICANN as a result of the NTIA [US Department of Commerce] announcement to transition US Government IANA functions to the "global multistakeholder community" --

NTIA Announces Intent to Transition Key Internet Domain Name Functions | NTIA: "To support and enhance the multistakeholder model of Internet policymaking and governance, the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) today [March 14, 2014] announces its intent to transition key Internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community. As the first step, NTIA is asking the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to convene global stakeholders to develop a proposal to transition the current role played by NTIA in the coordination of the Internet’s domain name system (DNS)."

The IANA Coordination Group members: 30 individuals representing 13 communities (direct and indirect stakeholders).
