Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being.

Notice of Intent - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Stewardship Transition
by Gordon Lennox 27 Mar '16

27 Mar '16

<< The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to award on a sole source basis under authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.5-Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items (FAR 13.501) to the contractor, President and Fellows of Harvard College (Berkman Center), as the only capable source that can provide an independent review and assessment of a non-profit corporate governance structure designed for a multistakeholder setting in support of NTIA's broader evaluation and assessment of the proposal to enhance the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers' (ICANN's) accountability related to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Stewardship Transition. The President and Fellows of Harvard College (Berkman Center) shall provide experts with experience and proven capability to perform an independent review and assessment of a non-profit corporate governance structure designed for a multistakeholder setting. This requires professional services of a unique, technical, and highly-skilled nature including through understanding of ICANN and it procedures and processes, multistakeholder approaches and processes, data analysis, and the Internet domain name system (DNS). Congress has mandated the review prior to NTIA transitioning it's stewardship of certain Internet technical functions to the global multistakeholder community, which is to be completed by June 30, 2016. . . . >> https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=bfc9cbacbbeb27a0ff16b3…

Updated 5th Draft SLA for the IANA Numbering Services
by Athina Fragkouli 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Dear Colleagues, FYI - Please find below the latest NRO announcement regarding the Fifth version of the draft SLA. https://www.nro.net/news/updated-5th-draft-sla-for-the-iana-numbering-servi… Kind regards, Athina Fragkouli Head of Legal RIPE NCC ===== UPDATED FIFTH DRAFT SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT FOR THE IANA NUMBERING SERVICES (SLAv5) AND CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS 17 March 2016 Background On 15 January 2015, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team submitted the Internet Number Community Proposal to the request for proposals issued by the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG). One of the key elements of the Internet Number Community proposal is to replace the current NTIA IANA agreement with a new contract, a Service Level Agreement (SLA), between the IANA Numbering Services Operator and the five RIRs. A first draft of the SLA was published on 1 May 2015 and opened for public comments until 14 June 2015. The first draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v1 A second draft of the SLA was published on 6 August 2015 and opened for public comments until 31 August 2015. The second draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v2 A third draft of the SLA was published on 30 October 2015 and invited ICANN legal staff to provide comments by November 30th 2015. The third draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v3 A fourth draft of the SLA was published on 25 February and invited ICANN to move forward to signing the SLA. The fourth draft of the SLA is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla-v4 Fifth Draft SLA As a result of ICANN comments on the fourth draft and additional feedback received at meetings during ICANN 55 in Marrakech, a fifth draft of the SLA has been produced and is available at: https://www.nro.net/sla The SLAv5 is open for public comments. Comments can be sent to IANAXFER mailing list at https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ianaxfer. The deadline for comments is April 15th 2016. For the sake of clarity, you can find a track changes version of SLAv5 against the fourth draft at: https://www.nro.net/sla-track-changes Additionally, a document with the comments on SLAv5 and the legal team responses is available at: https://www.nro.net/slav4-comments In accordance with the transparency commitment to our the community, we share the exchange of a clear track of comments between ICANN and RIR staff working towards a final SLA document. About the Fifth Draft SLA The fifth draft of the SLA has been developed by a team consisting of individuals from different RIRs. It responds to the principles included in the Internet Number Community proposal and is based on the already existing provisions of the NTIA IANA agreement. The content of SLAv5 is the result of consideration of public comments received during the public comment period on the second draft SLA,informational meetings with ICANN staff regarding the operational provisions of the SLA, and ICANN’s written comments regarding the third and fourth draft SLA. It is written in such a way that it can be signed as part of the implementation of the IANA transition when this occurs or before, without pre-judging the outcome of the ICG coordinated proposal. The SLA includes legally important provisions, such as those that regulate the five RIRs collective actions and responsibilities in its dealings with ICANN under the SLA. It also includes background and definitions. The SLA also includes explanatory footnotes that reference the source of each article according to the Internet Number Community proposal principles or the NTIA IANA agreement. Next Steps The RIRs thank the community and ICANN staff for its thoughtful comments and now publish this SLAv5 in the interest of transparency and keeping the community apprised of progress being made on the SLA. We trust that all comments and concerns have been addressed and that the current draft, SLAv5, represents a mutually acceptable SLA that is consistent with the principles found within the Internet Number Community proposal. We invite public comments as we approach the final version, which will be signed with ICANN/IANA as part of the IANA Transition planning process and will take effect upon release of their existing agreement with NTIA. _______________________________________________

IANA Stewardship Transition Moves to Final Phase
by Nick Hyrka 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

This message is sent on behalf of the Number Resource Organization (NRO). —————————————————————————————————— IANA STEWARDSHIP TRANSITION MOVES TO FINAL PHASE 11 March 2016, Marrakech, Morocco – An historic proposal for the global community to assume stewardship of the IANA functions, produced after nearly two years of work by the global Internet community, has been delivered to the U.S. Government for its consideration. The proposal would remove U.S. Government oversight over a set of fundamental Internet administrative functions, including management of the global pool of Internet number resources (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and Autonomous System Numbers), and replace it with a set of arrangements for community-based oversight. The proposal, developed by the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG), is based on input from three operational communities, including the Internet Number Community (those with an interest in the global management of Internet number resources). The contributions of the Internet Number Community were coordinated via a Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) Team made up of community members drawn from each of the five RIR regions. CRISP Team Chair Izumi Okutani said: “The discussions that have taken place over the last two years have been a showcase for the kind of bottom-up, community-driven processes that are a central feature of the Internet Number Community. This approach has been fundamental in making the Internet a truly global resource. It is very satisfying to see the input of so many stakeholders explicitly reflected in the ICG’s proposal, and I believe that the solution presented here successfully meets the needs of the Internet Number Community, and of all IANA stakeholders.” The ICG proposal includes mechanisms for stewardship of the number-related IANA functions, as developed by the Internet Number Community. These mechanisms include a contractual Service Level Agreement signed by the RIRs (as stewards of these functions) and ICANN (as the entity responsible for management of the functions). More information on this aspect of the proposal is available here: https://www.nro.net/nro-and-internet-governance/iana-oversight/about-the-pr… While the ICG published the final draft of its proposal in October 2015, elements of the proposal relied upon the adoption of a set of recommendations regarding the accountability of ICANN to its community. These recommendations were developed separately by a Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG) and were adopted by the ICANN Board at its meeting this week in Marrakech, Morocco. The Board was at that point able to pass on both the ICG and CCWG documents to the National Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA), an agency of the U.S. Government. “The events of this week, here at ICANN 55 in Marrakech, represent another significant step in the long process to better operationalize the global community’s shared stewardship of the IANA functions,” said Number Resource Organization Chair and LACNIC CEO Oscar Robles. “We have not reached the end of this process yet, and we respect the attention that the U.S. Government must give to this proposal before making what will be a historic decision. At this point though, we recognize the achievement that this proposal represents: a huge, global community of people from different sectors and stakeholder groups has achieved agreement on a complex plan to achieve something of huge importance. It is something about which we, as a community, should feel justifiably proud, and it is a testament to the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model. The Regional Internet Registries have publicly supported the progressive steps taken by the U.S. Government over the years to reduce its oversight of global Internet administrative functions. Since the NTIA’s announcement in 2014, we have been pleased to help facilitate our communities’ contributions to this important IANA stewardship transition process. We now stand ready to work with ICANN and all of the IANA stakeholders towards full implementation of the ICG and CCWG proposals.” The U.S. Government will now review the proposal to ensure that it meets the criteria set out by the NTIA when they first announced their intention, in March 2014, to pass stewardship of the IANA functions to the global community. If approved, the RIRs and ICANN will continue their work towards implementation of the proposal, which will be completed prior to the expiration of ICANN’s current contract with NTIA in September 2016.

New on RIPE Labs: The Regulatory Conditions of IP Interconnection
by Mirjam Kuehne 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

Dear colleagues, Please find a new RIPE Labs article submitted by Uta Meier-Hahn: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/uta_meier_hahn/the-regulatory-conditions-of-i… This is a follow-up of her earlier work on "Internet Interconnection: Networking in Uncertain Terrain". Abstract: Internet interconnection has often been described as an unregulated field. However, local public regulation is starting to emerge – be it through disclosure regulations, mandatory peering or licensing terms. Due to the networked nature of the internet, local rules may acquire a global scope. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC
