[Internal-cg] ICG - Summary of Completeness comments for Summary document

[Lynn St.Amour]

Dear colleagues,

I was asked to summarize the comments on Proposal completeness for the Summary document.  There is a lot of overlap between these "completeness" comments and the implementation inventory.   We may want to combine them, but that is dependent upon the format of the summary doc.  For the moment, I have not assumed they will be combined..

And, please review final paragraph below for my process assumption :-/

<start completeness summary>

The majority of submitters indicated they thought the proposal was complete, and many of those that indicated a more qualified yes (and some that stated 'No") referred mainly to the fact that the Names proposal was incomplete as it was dependent upon the ICANN-level accountability mechanisms which were still under development by the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG).  The ICG has previously noted that the CWG - Stewardship proposal is dependent upon their affirmation that the work of the CCWG fully meets their requirements, and the ICG is monitoring this closely as it is a critical dependency.

Another common point referenced the PTI model, mostly questioning the relationship between the 3 OCs, the status of various agreements/SLAs, or noting the work still to be done on various aspects of the PTI and its associated structures.  Various points are being clarified with the appropriate OCs, and the ICG is working to make the PTI more understandable as a whole.   The work to be done to establish the PTI (and associated structures) is enumerated (will be enumerated?) in more detail in the implementation section, and the ICG believes the implementation inventory covers all essential areas.

At the time of the combined proposal submission, there was an open item regarding IANA trademarks and the iana.org domain name.   This has since been addressed and all parties agree that they should be held by an entity that is not the provider of the IANA services.  The 3 OCs have agreed to work together to identify and establish the IPR holder and this is to be completed during the transition ahead of the NTIA contract expiry.

Finally, there were a number of comments concerning DNS Root Zone Management and these have been addressed <elsewhere in the summary document> or <insert Milton's excellent text here>…

Once the CWG confirms that their Accountability needs have been met by the CCWG proposal, the ICG will make a final determination as to whether the combined proposal is complete and ready to be sent to the NTIA.

Best,
