  Call for Public Comment on IANA IPR Agreements

Today, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Trust, the operational
communities, and ICANN announced a call for public comment, soliciting
feedback on draft agreements designed to address a requirement from
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
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-proposal-10mar16-en.pdf> [PDF,
2.3 MB]. The Proposal required that the domain names that ICANN uses to
perform the IANA functions and the IANA trademarks (the "IANA IPR") be
transferred to an entity independent of the IANA Functions Operator, and
held for the benefit of the entire community.

This call for public comment
<https://www.ianacg.org/call-for-public-comment-on-iana-ipr-agreements/> seeks
community input on three agreements concerning the IANA IPR developed by
the community to meet this requirement from the Proposal:

·         IANA IPR Assignment Agreement

·         IANA IPR License Agreement (model)

·         IANA IPR Community Agreement

The ICG web site is being used as a neutral site to host this call for
public comment, but the agreements are not a product of the ICG. After
public comment inputs are reviewed and considered, the agreements will
be finalized. The agreements are expected to be signed upon successful
completion of the IANA Stewardship Transition.

ICANN is a party to some of the agreements posted for comment:

·         The IANA IPR Assignment Agreement, through which ICANN will
transfer the IANA IPR to the IETF Trust

·         Three IANA IPR License Agreements, through which
the IETF Trust will license back to ICANN the rights to use
that IANA IPR in the performance of the IANA functions. There will be
three IANA IPR License Agreements, so that there is one representing
each portion of the IANA functions (naming, numbering and protocol
parameters). The Community Agreement sets out how the naming, numbering
and protocol parameters communities will work together with the IETF Trust.

Comments are due by 12 September 2016 at 23:59 UTC. Comments should be
submitted via email to [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Commenters should clearly
reference to which of the agreement(s) their comments apply. For more
detailed information, please
