RE: [bc-gnso] FILED: BC comment on ICANN's proposed process for IANA transition

[john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Steve,
 
Thanks to you, Phil, Marilyn, Aparna and Andrew for writing this comment.  In 
the time I have been associated with the BC, I have never seen a statement that 
so thoroughly melds ICANN's mission and the healthy mentality of business in 
promoting an agenda in support of the health of the Internet for all. 
 
You know I am not prone to public displays of affection, but I love this short, 
sweet and wholly representative document.
 
Cheers,
 
Berard

    Today we filed the attached comment on ICANN's proposed principles and 
process for IANA transition. 
 



During the review period, several members said they supported the comment.  One 
member (Laura Covington) suggested we  cite the NETmundial success in our 
appeal to open the process more.  To that end, I added this to item 3:
 
 Each constituency should be allowed to name individuals to the 
Steering/Convening Committee, with the goal of having the same broad 
representation of interests that made NETmundial successful.
 
 Thanks again to Phil, Marilyn, Aparna, and Andrew for contributing to the 
draft.

 Subject: FOR REVIEW BY 8-MAY: Draft BC comment on ICANN's proposed process for 
IANA transition
 
ICANN is accepting comments on their proposed principles and process for IANA 
transition planning.  When you look at the public comment page (link), it's 
clear we are to comment only on the process and scope ICANN has proposed - not 
on the substantive elements or outcomes of the transition.  Please be sure to 
read ICANN's scoping document, too (link).

 
Thanks to BC members who helped with this draft, starting with Phil Corwin, 
Marilyn Cade, Aparna Sridhar, and Andrew Mack. 
 
This comment is due 8-May.   Our draft is just over 1 page in length, so the BC 
Executive Committee has approved a 3-day expedited review period.   Please 
reply-all with your comments or in-line edits to the attached doc.
 
If lively debate is continuing on 8-May, we will extend the BC review period 
and inform ICANN that we will be a few days late.
