Dear colleagues, The Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team has now published the first draft of an Internet numbers community proposal for the future of the IANA stewardship. The draft is available here: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/CRISP-IANA-PROPOSAL-First-Draft1.pdf Feedback from the global numbers community is now being sought. This feedback can be sent to the global NRO IANA stewardship discussion list, <ianaxfer@nro.net>, or can be sent to the appropriate regional mailing lists. The RIPE CRISP representatives will be closely following discussions on the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list, as well as the global discussion. We would strongly encourage those RIPE community members with an interest in this topic to contribute to the global discussion on <ianaxfer@nro.net>. The deadline for all feedback on this first draft is Monday 5 January 2015. The CRISP team will then produce a further draft by 8 January, which will be open for final feedback from the communities before submission to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) by 15 January. The RIPE CRISP representatives circulated some draft text of an initial proposal to the RIPE Cooperation WG mailing list on 28 November. We felt that this draft captured the RIPE community input. A key addition in this first CRISP draft is the formation of a community-based Review Committee. This committee would produce an annual, non-binding report on the performance of the IANA operator, a concept that evolved from the Multistakeholder Oversight Numbers Council (MONC) that was originally proposed by the LACNIC community. We feel that this Review Committee addresses the concerns expressed by the LACNIC community, while not creating unnecessary complex new structures. We look forward to hearing from the RIPE community on this important process. Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky, on behalf of the RIPE CRISP representatives Important Links —— Subscribe to the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list: http://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/cooperation-wg/ Suscribe to the NRO IANA Transfer mailing list: https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ianaxfer Information on the CRISP team and its work [includes members, charter, teleconference minutes and audio]: https://www.nro.net/crisp-team Public archive of the internal CRISP mailing list: https://www.nro.net/pipermail/ianaxfer/ RIR community timeline for IANA stewardship discussion and links to regional outputs: https://www.nro.net/nro-and-internet-governance/iana-oversight/timeline-for-...
