Re: [council] Draft Letter for Review re: IRD-WG Final Report Delivery to Board

[Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Stéphane,

I am wondering if it would be useful to include in the delivery letter the next 
step that  Ching noted below, that is to add the following text:

"The GNSO and the SSAC request that ICANN Staff should prepare a timeline or 
roadmap for the implementation of the recommendations in the IRD-WG Final 
Report and liaise with the GNSO and the SSAC on any policy issues."

This would provide the Board with an explicit next step and give direction to 
staff also.

Best regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director

Thanks Ching.

If everyone is in agreement with the proposed suggestion that we cosign the 
SSAC letter, then I will alter the Sept 13 agenda and add approval of us 
cosigning the letter to the consent agenda, which would have the added benefit 
of removing a full agenda item from what at present is a very, very full agenda.

If anyone objects, please say so by COB tomorrow.

Thanks,

Stéphane / All,

My apology for not being responsive on this issue.

Stéphane -- I'd agree your approach on co-signing the SSAC letter,
which is simply to deliver the report to the Board. The Council has
already authorize the Chair to do so. After the submission of this
joint letter, the Board / Staff should prepare for the IRD
implementation timeline and liaise with GNSO / SSAC if there's any
policy issues -- a useful and similar reference could be ICANN's
roadmap on SAC 051 (
http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-6-04jun12-en.htm
). The question now is when the GNSO / ICANN community can see such
timeline therefore we should request for it.

In reality, based on my understanding, the policy works / motion may
come a year later or even longer. Here's why. Some of you may have
noticed the new development of the WEIRDS-WG
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/weirds/charter/) in IETF. At the
bottom of that web page you can see the proposed milestones for
standardizing RDDS. ICANN is relying on WEIRDS-WG to get the ball
rolling and ultimately fix the WHOIS / RDDS standardization issues,
and this include the IRD. Unless the Council is thinking something
else, this IRD / WEIRDS is pretty much driven by the progress /
efficiency of technical standard updates, and I assume that many
registry / registrar players are involved in that process. So my take
at the moment would be getting Staff to brief the Council regularly,
and we will have better sense of when to request a formal plan or
report from the Board / Staff, as well as to decide when to request
for issue report or to initiate PDP.

Just my two cents for this big issue. Other comments and suggestions
are certainly welcome and appreciated.

Best regards,

Ching

Councillors,

Please see below the correspondence from Patrik Fälström, SSAC Chair.

You will remember that we discussed the IRD-WG FR at our last meeting and it
was decided that we should draft a letter to send the Board "requesting the
implementation plan time-lines and clarifying that any policy implications
in implementing the recommendations will have to be considered by the GNSO
Council".

Ching volunteered to draft the letter and we were looking to approve it at
our next meeting, which is scheduled for Sept 13. The SSAC proposed letter
obviously overlaps with this, but from what I can see introduces no new
elements apart from actually spelling out the IRD recommendations for the
Board.

I would therefore suggest that we may wish to sign on to the proposed SSAC
letter, whilst also sending our own letter as planned. Ching and others,
please provide feedback on this suggestion and make any comments you feel
are relevant to this and the SSAC letter.

I will, as planned, add the approval of Ching's letter to the Sept 13
consent agenda. I will also add an agenda item on the proposed SSAC IRD-WG
letter.

Stéphane,

I have consulted with my Vice Chair, Jim Galvin, and with Ram Mohan, the
SSAC Liaison to the Board, and we would like to suggest changes to the draft
cover letter for the IRD-WG Final Report delivery to the Board that Julie
Hedlund sent to you and me on 20 July (see original message below). I have
attached a revised version for your consideration in Word and PDF. The
primary changes are that we included the recommendations from the IRD-WG
Final Report in the cover letter for the Board's reference. These are
highlighted as tracked changes in the revised draft letter.

Best regards,

 Patrik

Subject: Draft Letter for Review re: IRD-WG Final Report Delivery to Board

Dear Stéphane and Patrik,

On 27 June in Prague the GNSO Council passed a motion relating to the Final
Report of the Internationalized Registration Data Working Group (IRD-WG).
In its motion the Council approved the delivery to the Board of the IRD-WG’s
Final Report and requested staff to draft a joint letter from the GNSO and
the SSAC to the Board.  Attached for your consideration is the draft joint
letter from the GNSO and the SSAC to the Board in Word and PDF and the Final
Report.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Best regards,

Julie
