Dear All,
Thank you for your comments
1. I do not think that any thing was sent from ICANN or ICANN  Staff to
ICGin regard with what Alissa said
Quote
" 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.”
Unquote
I do not know what was the  procedural validity of ICANN Staff to say so.
The Board has a Liaison to ICG and I have not seen any formal comment from
that Liasion .
2. I do not think that we should have any statement issued as we have not
received any formal statement from ICANN.
3. In regard with separate arrangemnt between the operational communities
and ICANN or a single arrangemnt , we should not jump to any conclusion
4 What Milton saying that IETF has  already had the right to “split” or
terminate its MoU with ICANN and has had that right for 15 years through
various iterations of the IANA contract. CRISP has proposed something
similar. This is existing practice , Whether the same practice would be
valid for transition we need to carefully read the CWG output on hoew these
existing MoU are to be treated.
We need to discuss all these after careful examination of the CWG output
Pls then wait until we carefully review the matter and then to decide what
appropriate actions to be taken
