[CCG] Fwd: Proposed Changes to License Agreements between ICANN and IETF Trust

[Kaveh Ranjbar <[e-mail]>]

Dear CCG Members,

Here is an status update on the process of transferring the IANA domains to the IETF Trust from ICANN using CSC as the registrar. We are at the point where we are executing the CSC contract (step <g> in the original announcement, quoted below).

Next step would be transfer of iana.net domain (IANA has three: iana.com, iana.net and iana.org, all pointing to iana.org) to CSC and then try to make a simple administrative change and test CSC’s response.

FYI, the IANA IPR license agreement amendments to support these changes have been signed earlier in the October and you can find a copy of them attached for the record.

I will keep you posted on the progress.

All the best,

Kaveh Ranjbar,
Chair, IETF Trust.

> Additionally, under the circumstance where the Registrant (Trust)

> and Technical Contacts and that no response was received after a
> period of no less than ten business days.

> These conditions are also incorporated under the circumstances where

> It is believed the next steps are:
> 
>  a.  Community Review
>  b.  Acceptance of proposed changes to Exhibit E by the Trust
>  c.  Trust and ICANN execute amendments to the three License
> 	Agreements
>  d.  Incorporate the changes in CSC Agreement Schedule A
> 	(Schedule A is the same as Exhibit E of the License Agreements)
>  e.  Trust puts Schedule A of the CSC Agreement out for Community
> 	Review
>  f.  Community Review
>  g.  Trust executes CSC Agreement
>  h.  CSC Test of conformance to the requirements
>  i.  All IANA domains transferred upon successful test
> 
> Your feedback by 17 May 2017 on the proposed amendments to Exhibit E
