  2. Presentation outline • Objective, Charter and Scope • Members • Work plan • Progress report • Issues arising that are out of scope

  3. Objective • The objective is to develop and propose a "Framework of Interpretation" for the delegation and re delegation of ccTLDs. This framework should provide a clear guide to IANA and the ICANN Board on interpretations of the current policies and guidelines.

  4. Working Group Charter / Scope • Based on issues identified in the DRDWG Final Reports, the FOIWG is tasked to develop interpretations of the Policy Statements to resolve the issues identified by the DRDWG in a consistent and coherent manner. • Any proposal to amend, update or change the Policy Statements is outside the scope. • The IANA functions contract between the US Government and ICANN, including any contract implementation issues or procedures relating to it, are outside the scope.

  9. Work Plan • Policy and process documentation recommended for interpretation in the FOI: • RFC1591 • GAC Principles 2005

  10. Main Topics • Definition of “consent” • Definition of an active administrative contact and procedures relating to the retirement of a ccTLD administrative contact • “Interested Parties” (or Local Internet Community) support for delegations and re-delegations. • Unconsented re-delegations • IANA vs. applicable law and legislation for a ccTLD • IANA Reports • Terminology surrounding delegations and re-delegations

  11. Progress • Started meeting at ICANN San Francisco. • Frequent (two weekly) conference calls • Tackling issues one by one • “Terminology” proved too difficult as first report • Currently working on “Consent” • Two year work-plan through to June 2013 • Open consultation at completion of each section

  12. Issue arising that is out of scope • Property Rights relating to ccTLDs and domain names. • Recent case of “Tucows vs Renner” of interest • Those members of the FOIWG that are interested in this topic have formed an ad-hoc working group that is independent of the FOIWG and will work on framing this topic for presentation to the ccNSO.
