Transition another step closer as accountability proposal is sent to
Chartering Organizations

   - The final CCWG-Accountability proposal for accountability enhancements
   that must be in place or committed to within the timeframe of the
IANA Stewardship
   Transition has been sent to its six Chartering Organizations for adoption.
   - The CWG-Stewardship is finalizing a letter confirming that the
   CCWG-Accountability proposal meets all of their requirements.
   - The ICG will finalize their proposal for transmission to the ICANN Board
   and NTIA upon receiving confirmation from the CWG-Stewardship.

CCWG-Accountability proposal

On 23 February, the Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN
Accountability
(CCWG-Accountability
<https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/CCWG+on+Enhancing+ICANN+Accountability>
) forwarded
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/accountability-cross-community/2016-February/011410.html>
 its Final Supplemental Proposal on Work Stream 1 Recommendations
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58723827> for the
approval of its six Chartering Organizations (GNSO
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/>, ALAC <https://atlarge.icann.org/>, ccNSO
<http://ccnso.icann.org/>, GAC
<https://gacweb.icann.org/display/gacweb/Governmental+Advisory+Committee>,
ASO <https://aso.icann.org/>, SSAC <https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac>).
The Final Supplemental Proposal incorporates:

   - Feedback received during the public comment period
   <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-ccwg-accountability-proposal-2015-11-30-en>
on
   the Third Draft Proposal
   <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56145016>.
   - Further development of the recommendations by the CCWG-Accountability
   members and participants to resolve the sometimes-conflicting issues raised
   by community feedback.
   - A change made as a result of concerns expressed by some members of the
   GAC and by theICANN Board regarding whether or not the GAC could be a
   member of the Empowered Community when invoking an Independent Review
   Process triggered by the Board acting on GACadvice. Initially, the
   Supplemental Proposal recommended not including the GAC as a part of the
   Empowered Community in such circumstances (on the CCWG-Accountability list,
   this was termed the “carve out” of the GAC); the final version removes
   this constraint.

Final approval of CCWG-Accountability’s Work Stream 1 recommendations
triggers the next phase in theIANA Stewardship Transition – the
transmission of both the transition and accountability proposals to theNTIA by
way of the ICANN Board of Directors. The transmission is expected to take
place during or immediately following the Public ICANN Board Meeting on 10
March.

this point, the main focus of the CCWG’s work in Marrakech is planning Work
Stream 2 activities. Work Stream 2 focuses on accountability topics that
extend beyond the IANA Stewardship Transition.
IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal

The IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG
<http://www.ianacg.org/>) has requested confirmation
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/2016-February/004745.html> that
the CCWG-Accountability Supplemental Draft Proposal meets all of the
requirements of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA
Stewardship
Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions (CWG-Stewardship
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG+to+Develop+an+IANA+Stewardship+Transition+Proposal+on+Naming+Related+Functions>
).

The CWG-Stewardship held a teleconference
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58721766> on 25
February to discuss its response to the CCWG-Accountability Chartering
Organizations and the ICG regarding whether the Supplemental Proposal meets
all of the CWG-Stewardship’s requirements. The draft letter of confirmation
is here
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/attachments/20160220/95fec848/CWGCommentLetter-CCWGFinalProposal-SidleyDraft-213202714-v3-0001.docx>
.

When the ICG receives confirmation from the CWG-Stewardship, the ICG will
finalize 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 Multistakeholder Community
<https://www.ianacg.org/icg-files/documents/IANA-stewardship-transition-proposal-EN.pdf>
for
delivery to the ICANN Board to transmit to NTIA. To do this, theICG will
hold a teleconference
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58721766> on
March 1.
IANA Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)

A group consisting of representatives from the three IANA operational
communities has been finalizing details on how IANA IPR should be managed
after the transition has occurred.

IANA IPR consists of three IANA trademarks (Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority, IANA and the IANAlogo) and their registrations as well as three
IANA-related domain names (iana.org, iana.net, andiana.com).

These discussions are still underway. To follow recent developments you can
follow the mailing list, iana-ipr, which is publicly archived here
<https://www.nro.net/pipermail/iana-ipr/>.
