NRO Comments to ICG proposal
● Reflects a demonstrated consensus of the numbering community on the IANA transition plan, following open and inclusive bottom - up consultation processes;
● Fulfills the criteria established by the NTIA's IANA stewardship transition process;
● Acts in the interests of the global multi-stakeholder Internet community;
● Maintains the stability, security and reliability of the Internet, quality of IANA services and goal of community empowerment, all of which elements were identified by the numbers community in the CRISP proposal.

Appointment of RIR staff and Numbers Community members.
Izumi Okutani (APNIC Region )
Athina Fragkouli (RIPE NCC Staff)
Fiona Asonga (AFRINIC Region)
Jorge Villa (LACNIC Region)
Important component of the IANA transition process. Currently discussing accountability improvements in ICANN after-transition period.
NRO Comments to CCWG Proposal
1.Do you agree that the CCWG-Accountability proposal enhances ICANN's accountability
- Community Mechanism as Sole Member” model is untested and involves extensive changes to ICANN structure
2. Are there elements of this proposal that would prevent you from approving its transmission to Chartering Organizations?
- The Internet numbers community will be relying predominantly upon contractual measures for ICANN accountability, and as such has no fundamental objection to CCWG proposal, or to any
model which preserves our ability to fully implement those measures. We would be unable to support any model which would not allow, or would put at risk, the successful transition of IANA Numbering Functions by that deadline.
3. Does this proposal meet the requirements set forward by the CWG-Stewardship?
- This is a question best addressed by the Internet domain name community; as such, the NRO does not propose an answer for this question. Further to the comments above, the NRO wishes to express a general preference for the “Designator Model” for enhancing ICANN’s accountability. We believe that that model would achieve the necessary improvement in accountability, and that, requiring less extensive change to the existing structure, it would be more easily and reliably implemented within the transition timeframe.

Review Committee Charter:
On 15 January, 2015, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team submitted the Internet Number Community Proposal to the request for proposals issued by the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG).
One of the key elements of the Internet Number Community Proposal, described in section III.A.4, is the establishment of a Review Committee to ensure that the IANA Numbering Services Operator maintains the service level defined in the SLA for the IANA Numbering Services. Further description of the Review of IANA Numbering services is described in Article 8 of the SLA.
On 23 June 2015 the NRO EC invited all interested parties to review and comment on a draft for the Internet Number Community Review Committee Charter. As a result of the public consultation, on 5 November 2016, the NRO EC published the final document at

13. IANA Transition Intellectual Property Rights
The Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of IANA Functions to the Community included a requirement for certain IANA IPR to be transferred from ICANN to an independent entity. The IPR consists of trademarks and domain names.
The IETF Trust agreed to hold the IANA IPR.
The IANA Community Coordination Group (CCG) provides guidance, advice, and if expressly specified in the IPR agreement, approvals, to the IETF Trust regarding the stewardship of the IANA IPR.
The CCG is comprised of nine (9) individuals, three (3) appointed by each of the Operational Communities.
The NRO EC agreed that the NRO officeholders rotating each year would be appointed to the CCG.
Chair – Oscar Robles (CCG Co-chair)
Secretary – John Curran
Treasurer – Paul Wilson
The Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multi-stakeholder Community includes a requirement for certain IPR associated with IANA to be transferred from ICANN to an entity independent of the IANA functions operator. The IPR consists of trademarks and domain names.
After discussion within the operational communities and the IETF Trust, the IETF Trust indicated that it would be willing to hold the IANA IPR. The IETF Trust < is a Virginia common law trust created in Among other things, the IETF Trust was created for the purpose of acquiring, holding, maintaining and licensing certain intellectual property for the advancement of the science and technology associated with the Internet and related technology. The IETF Trust agreed to hold the IANA IPR in the service of the affected Internet operational communities.
Representatives from the names community, the numbers community, the protocol parameter community, the IETF Trust, and ICANN have drafted a set of agreements to effectuate the transfer of the IANA IPR from ICANN to the IETF Trust and to govern the relationships amongst the parties with respect to the IPR after the transfer. These agreements are:
(1) IANA IPR Assignment Agreement. This agreement transfers the IPR from ICANN to the IETF Trust.
(2) IANA IPR License Agreement. This agreement allows for the IANA functions operator to use the IPR. The document available for public comment is a basic form that will be used to generate three license agreements, one each for the names, numbers, and protocol parameters IANA services. Items highlighted in yellow will vary by agreement and will be completed once the License Agreement is split into three. In each case the licensee is ICANN, with the ability established for ICANN to sublicense to PTI.
(3) IANA IPR Community Agreement. This agreement explains the rights and obligations of the IETF Trust and each operational community as regards the IPR.
The IETF Trust, the operational communities, and ICANN hereby solicit feedback as to whether the draft agreements address the needs of the affected communities.
More background can be found here:
Formation and Purpose of CCG. The CCG is hereby formed, and shall operate in accordance with the terms set forth below, to provide guidance, advice, and if expressly specified in this Agreement, approvals, to the IETF Trust regarding the stewardship of the IANA Intellectual Property.
Composition of CCG. The CCG shall be comprised of nine (9) individuals, three (3) appointed by each of the Operational Communities (such nine (9) individuals, the “CCG Representatives”). Each Operational Community shall have the right to change any of its CCG Representatives upon written notice to the other Operational Communities and the IETF Trust. An Operational Community may remove or replace its CCG Representatives at any time and in its sole discretion. The means and procedures by which an Operational Community elects to select, appoint and remove its own CCG Representatives shall be determined solely by that Operational Community and such procedures and compliance therewith are beyond the scope of this Agreement.
