  1. IANA – Plan BDr Willie Black25 March 2003

  2. The Problem • ICANN/IANA not responsive to requests from non-contracted ccTLDs • ICANN/IANA has not agreed operational procedures with those who need the service • ICANN/IANA mixing policy with operations • ICANN/IANA not costing operation clearly

  3. Current Contracts Situation • Doc – Verisign to propagate the root zone file • Doc – ICANN/IANA to maintain database • ccTLDs – IANA ???

  4. ccIANA ftom Shanghai • Technical • Schema, Authentication, Process • Legal • Very lightweight contract (call it an MoU!) • Authority to operator to put into root • Authority to remove temporarily in extremis • Payment of costs • Regionally distributed • Political • Acceptance by DoC • Support of regional governments

  5. Reality • USG has renewed with ICANN (6 months+) • USG probably not willing to distribute IANA function or have outside US • Possibility that USG will open a tender if ICANN/IANA fails to address community needs?

  6. Possible Criteria for IANA • No interference in national policy-making • No subjectivity judgments by IANA??? • Ring-fenced funding & Not-for-profit regime • Separate contracts ONLY for IANA part • Specification and Management of operating policies only by the TLD managers and IANA • Well-defined procedures and SLAs

  7. Questions • Agree criteria with changes? • Publish in communiqué? • Agree technical spec? Who? How? • Should we have dialogue with ICANN? How? • Dialogue with other parties? Who? How?
