[Internal-cg] JHA proposed language on RZM

[Patrik Fältström]

Thanks for this Joe,

I think/feel a complicating factor is that many parties commenting that "third party review" is needed did not say explicitly whether their view is that it is really important oversight is happening at the point in time of changes being made, or if it is the case that audit in retrospect by third parties (like IETF is doing) is sufficient. Today NTIA is part of day to day operation.

I.e. to me the need for third party oversight is one thing. Being part of day to day operation another.

But I agree with your summary below. Do not suggest changes to it.

All who have touched on Root Zone issues have asked for greater transparency and opportunity for comment in the process.  A subset highlighted a concern related to separation of duties, specifically the potential that ICANN may at some point take over some RZM functions.  A few comments have raised concern of the elimination of a separate root zone authorization function and its symbolic importance to trust. Some have requested that the ICG undertake a a role or review of that process.  While the ICG accepts that there are dependencies between the resolution of the RZM issues and the IANA transition, they were specifically excluded from our process as they were to be the subject of a separate and parallel process.  We will pass the specific nature of comments as appropriate, recognizing that some issues have been dealt with wholly or partially in existing processes and will take note of the resolution of dependencies.
