<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello Milton,<br><br></div>Based on recent insight (from Vinay/John), I went through the proposal again. I will like to summarise the goals of your proposal in 3 lines and like to hopefully get an ack from you(or further help clarify possible area where i may have missed)<br>
<br></div>- End the IANA contract with USG/ its DNS function (what i call the ICANN globalization/freedom) [1]<br></div>- Assign the function and contract to DNSA [2]<br></div>- Grant DNSA the right to refuse ICANN contract in future (what i call the ICANN de-globalization strategy) [3]<br>
<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If those 3 lines of mine happens to be valid wouldn't it then mean that the supposed ICANN rescue mission could indeed turn to a take-over mission in near future?<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks again for this proposal as its really a good piece and has helped get understanding of a lot of things. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Kind Regards<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
ref from proposal:<br><br>1. If ending US oversight is contingent upon ICANN reforms, then by definition the USG will be able to decide unilaterally whether the reforms provide an acceptable basis for letting go. That would give the US government privileged influence over the nature of ICANN well into the future<br>
<br>2. The DNSA would require a binding contract with ICANN regarding the conditions under which it would agree to implement changes in the root zone or other associated databases to reflect policies emerging from ICANN’s policy development processes<br>
<br>3. For example, if the contract was not in perpetuity but was renewable every five<br>years, diverse entities might compete to replace the existing ICANN as the policy development authority<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">

> I think Mawaki's point about the accuracy of stating that DNSA would have 'no policy role' (in the context of the contract between DNSA and the policy making body) requires further exploration. Brenden, while your response covers termination of the contract, it does not address what happens when it's time to renew the contract.<br>

> The DNSA is set up in 2015 along the lines proposed, and ICANN and DNSA negotiate a 5 year agreement containing fairly standard, commercially acceptable terms. There are no disputes between the contracting parties during the term of the contract. However, between 2015 and 2019 global geopolitics results in certain countries effectively walking away from ICANN (and all other I* organisations) and setting up a 'competing' policy making body organised along multilateral lines (let's call it 'NewCo', shall we? :)). It is now 2019, and DNSA issues an RFP - it receives responses from ICANN and NewCo. DNSA now needs to make a decision on who to award the contract to.<br>

<br>
Vinay -<br>
<br>
Thank you for describing this scenario for discussion.<br>
<br>
The technical/clerical DNS registry function to be performed would be required by contract<br>
to follow policy guidance from DNSA, so any party performing that technical/clerical task<br>
would have no ability to utilize its own "policy making" apparatus or outputs from same...<br>
(if I understand Milton and Brenden's proposal correctly...)<br>
