WEBINAR: Cross Community Working Group (CWG) On IANA Naming Related Functions: Current Progress and Key Issues
Following the request of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) forICANN to “convene a multistakeholder process to develop a plan to transition the U.S. government stewardship role” with regard to the IANA Functions and related root zone management, a Cross Community Working Group (CWG-Stewardship) was formed with the purpose of developing a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to domain names.
Since its last webinars on 3-4 December 2014, the CWG-Stewardship has received and reviewed nearly [60] public comments, and has continued to work on preparing its proposal for transition, including during an intensive work weekend on 10-11 January. The CWG-Stewardship is also in the process of reviewing its timeline for submission of a proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG). The CWG-Stewardship will present substantial information regarding current progress as well as the key issues under consideration, in order to provide the community a preview in advance of further detailed work during the ICANN 52 Meeting in Singapore.
The CWG-Stewardship is holding two identical webinars at different times to facilitate participation across time zones. The webinars will take place on:
- 3 February from 14:00 – 15:00 UTC (time zone converter here)
- 3 February from 21:00 – 22:00 UTC (time zone converter here)

Grace Abuhamad:Hi all! Welcome to the 2nd CWG pre-Singapore Webinar. We will start at 21:00 UTC.
Gary Campbell:Hi Grace
Grace Abuhamad:When submitting a question that you want me to read out loud on the mic, please start with a <QUESTION> and end with a “</QUESTION>”. Text outside these quotes will be considered as part of “chat” and will not be read out loud on the mic
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:audio is choppy for me ATM
Greg Shatan:Audio fine here.
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:audio fine here too
Bernard Turcotte - staff support:audio good here also - on a poor line to boot
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:it has settled for me
Greg Shatan:Dingos stopped chewing the wires....
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:lol. Galahs or sulphur created cockatoos more like
Donna Austin, RySG:that'd be a pink and grey one Cheryl?
Grace Abuhamad:When submitting a question that you want me to read out loud on the mic, please start with a <QUESTION> and end with a “</QUESTION>”. Text outside these quotes will be considered as part of “chat” and will not be read out loud on the mic
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:<QUESTION> It was mentioned that the best case scenario for CWG in order to presend its proposal to ICG is June 2015. What if this deadline cannot be met? In order for the (very strict) timeline to be fulfilled, the deadline of June must be met, because the AoC finishes at the end of September. What happens if the deadlines cannot be met or the ICG will not conclude to a final (commonly acceptable) proposal? Will the WGs have more time to improve their proposals? And what happens if NTIA does not like the proposal? Does the US Congress play a significant role in the whole IANA stewardship transition process i.e. can the Congress postpone the process or create any other obstacles?</QUESTION>
Pat Kane:The AoC does not have a termination date
Pat Kane:at least not of September 2015
Greg Shatan:You are thinking of the IANA Functions Contract, which can be extended.
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:I know; I'm just examining all scenarios being provocative - sorry about that:)
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:sorry - I had a network failure. and I lost the "what if NTIA doesnot like the proposal" part
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:sorry about that - audio is fine now....
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:the NTIA has said that they will ask the community to amend their proposal accordingly
Bob Hinden:The US Congress has a big role here, NTIA is part of the US Government and the Congress (among other things) decides what NTIA's budget is.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:not sure I agree with you there Lise. I see NTIA holding the trump cards here
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:thaks Olivier!
Olivier Crepin-Leblond:ultimately the NTIA is the ultimate customer that needs to be convinced about any proposal
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:what is the meaning of "the trump cards" sorry it's all greek to me! :)
Cheryl Langdon-Orr::-) :-) :-)
Matthew Shears:also - NTIA expects that the community to have put in place and committed to a certain set of accountability enhancements at ICANN as a part of the transition
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:thanx!!
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:well described Lise
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:thank you Lise for the very comprehensive presentation and for answering my questions
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:sorry for not being able to join you on singapore - I'll try to do it remotely
AAikman:QUESTION: Since the IANA contract will have to be extended anyway, why NOT take more time to be thorough abuout this?
Bernard Turcotte - staff support:bye all
Cheryl Langdon-Orr:thanks Lise bye all
Matthew Shears:thanks!
Greg Shatan:Bye
Panagiotis Papaspiliopoulos:bye all - safe travels & fruitful meetings
