Dear all, with sincere apologies that I missed this one when it came out
last Friday, we have been asked to field a volunteer for the cross
community working group drafting team.
The person needs to (ideally) be able to take part in drafting tomorrow
(Weds) or the following day (Thurs) on-site here in London.
Even though this is terribly short notice, can you please either nominate
or self-nominate for this role within the next 12 hours?
The NCSG PC will appoint the person to join the drafting team within the
next 24 hours.
All the best, Maria

*Subject:* [soac-chairs] URGENT: CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO FORM A DRAFTING
TEAM (IANA STEWARDSHIP TRANSITION)
Dear SO/AC Chairs,
We, the Chairs of the ccNSO and GNSO Council, would hereby like to invite
your organization to join a drafting team, tasked with drafting the charter
for a *Cross-Community Working Group to develop a Transfer Process for the
IANA Stewardship Role*.
Based on conversations to date, we anticipate that the ALAC and SSAC will
join this effort and we sincerely hope that the ICANN’s other supporting
organizations and advisory committees will also respond positively to
this initiative. The final draft charter will be presented to at least each
of the organizations participating in this effort for their adoption,
according to each organization’s own rules and procedures.
Taking into account the principles outlined by the NTIA in its
announcement, we believe such a cross community working group, with
participation from and supported by the ICANN community as well as other
organizations, is the most appropriate way to develop a proposal for a
transition plan.
Initial work by some members of the community resulted in a first draft
straw-man document, which is included here as an annex. We believe this may
help the drafting team in its efforts, but it is by no means intended to
prescribe, limit or restrict conversations, though it is worth noting that
some elements contained in the document align with the current thinking of
some ccNSO and GNSO members. We anticipate that any final draft should
address at a minimum:
- Purpose and Scope (what is in and what is out of scope)
- Goals and objectives
- Deliverables
- Timeline
- Proposed approach (how is the WG expected to conduct its work,
reporting to chartering organizations)
- Relationship with Coordination Group as proposed by ICANN (see
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en)
- Membership / sponsorship (should membership be limited, open to
anyone interested?)
- Sponsorship / chartering organizations (should sponsorship be
restricted to ICANN structures or also extend to external organizations?)
- Staffing / support needed
- Rules of engagement
- Decision-making methodology (how are decisions made in the WG
and how are these reflected in the recommendations)
- Process for review / adoption of proposal by chartering
organizations (also addressing what would happen if one of the chartering
organizations would not adopt the proposal)
- Closure of the WG
In order to be able to complete the drafting of the charter and share it
with the different organizations for consideration in a timely manner, we
would ask that each participating organization assign a maximum of 4
representatives to the drafting team.
To facilitate the work of the drafting team at its initial stages, we are
both available to serve as interim chairs of the charter drafting team, if
that is deemed to be helpful, and for as long as the drafting team would
like us to.
Although the ICANN London meeting is very close, we recognize the value of
meeting face-to-face. Therefore we would like to organize an informal
meeting of the drafting team during the London ICANN meeting and as such
have identified Monday 23 June 2014, 17h00 UTC (18h00 London) as a
possible option to do so. We hope and would appreciate if you could provide
us with your feedback and the names of volunteers (even it that would be on
an interim basis until your organization has formally assigned a
representative to this drafting effort in accordance with your own rules
and procedures) by Sunday 22 June at the latest.
We look forward to receiving your feedback.
Byron Holland &
Jonathan Robinson
