Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC, working closely with the Cooperation Working Group Co-chairs and the RIPE Chair, has produced the following draft RIPE community proposal regarding the IANA stewardship. This text should not be regarded as final - it is intended to act as a basis for discussions in this working group over the coming weeks. There will also be a dedicated session at RIPE 69 in London on Thursday, 6 November, to discuss these issues. Remote participation will be available for those unable to be present. Best regards, Chris Buckridge, RIPE NCC RIPE Community IANA Stewardship Proposal [DRAFT] ———————————————————————— The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to work with the other RIRs to produce a common proposal for a legally binding agreement (such as a Service Level Agreement) between ICANN and the RIRs to replace the Internet number-related elements of the ICANN-NTIA agreement. This proposal should meet the requirements of the Request For Proposals (RFP) produced by the IANA Stewardship Transistion Coordination Group (ICG). The proposal should bring the provisions of the agreement related to the services and service levels up-to-date with current requirements where necessary. This work should be coordinated with the other users of the IANA function as much as practical, with the aim of producing a proposed arrangement that is compatible with the proposed arrangements of the other IANA users. The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC and the other RIRs keep it informed about progress and content of the proposal. The RIPE community asks the RIPE NCC to complete the proposal and to submit it to the ICG before January 15th 2015.
