[Internal-cg] Contracting

The thread below as well as the following paragraph in Milton’s memo raised a question for me:

“... negotiations between CRISP and ICANN legal raise a very important process issue. As ICG we have viewed ourselves as an entity that receives consensus proposals from the operational communities and does not try to alter them. Shouldn’t we expect the same from ICANN? If ICANN legal is attempting to make major alterations in the terms of the contractual rights exercised by an operational community as part of the transition, isn’t it interfering with the consensus proposal of the affected operational community? There is also the fact that these negotiations are going on behind the scenes and are not transparent to the whole involved community.”

My understanding is that the IETF folks are encountering some of the same things as CRISP. Do we think it would help if the ICG put out a statement of some sort indicating that we continue to expect all interested parties, including ICANN staff, to express their opinions about the transition proposals openly and transparently within the community processes? And that includes opinions about the acceptability of principles and mechanisms associated with contractual arrangements between the communities and the IANA functions operator?
