[CRISP-TEAM] Notes from the IPR call among the three Operational Communities

[Janvier Noulaye]

Thank you Izumi,
I just wanted to point out one thing on section 4, II) .... *Stage two
(complete implementation on IPR)*
We should  perhaps frame this task with an implementation schedule, and to
clarify the necessary prerequis at this stage ?

Best wishes
Janvier Ngnoulaye

> 1. Steps towards implementation:

> framework
> In second stage: the IPR matter is take to the OC and ICANN lawyers for an
> implementation that framework.

> https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/DT-IPR++Intellectual+P
> roperty+Rights
>
> * A team dedicated to discuss IPR implementation has been set up
> (lead by Greg Shatan)
> - The team does not make final decisions
>   It is to make progress in considerations, to then be discussed and
> finalised in the CWG
> - There is strong recognition of a need to work in timely manner
> - Having additional members including IP and Trust expert(s) may be
> helpful but work is well underway
>
> * Draft on IPR considerations by the CWG IPR team is under development

> Pk8/edit?usp=sharing
>
> * An additional issue which has not been raised: financing of the holder
> of the IPR
> - The entity holding the IPR will need some funds / funding in order to
> be able to properly hold and maintain the IPR
> - The IETF Trust will be able to accommodate financing, if the IETF Trust
> becomes the holder (Clarified by Jari)
>
>
> 3. Way Forward:
> * Key events to keep in mind towards implementation:
> - Submission of the proposal to the NTIA (although resolution of the IPR
> location is not a pre-requisite to submission) and
> - Expiry the IANA contract
>
> * Components to agree for 3 OCs to work together:
> - Timelines
> - Communication (information sharing of status)
> - Coordination (in discussing issues)
>
> * Need for stronger coordination among the three operational communities
> - An idea was shared to establish a way to coordinate among the three
> operational communities, in parallel to discussions in IPR Team in the CWG
> - An observation was made, that there is a room for leaders from the three
> communities to lead on setting the framework on how we work
> - More to be discussed at the future call
>
> * The three communities need to be in sync in the scope of work at each
> phase
> - Observations were made that there is no need for the IPR Team in the CWG
> to solve all details of implementation at this stage
> - The CWG DT to focus on high level principles and requirements. It is
> anticipated that this will help the three OCs to move forward constructively
> and converge. A CWG Co-Chair shared an observation this is a constructive
> way forward.

>    i. Arrange the next call in two weeks time
>        - Will set up a doodle poll
>
>    ii. By the next call, seek for feedback from each OCs:
>        - Whether syncing key dates with work needed as below can be agreed
>
>       [Milestones to target completion of work by three OCs]
>       Stage one (agree on principles and framework):
>       before the ICG & CCWG proposals submission to the NTIA (around Feb
> 2016)
>       Stage two (complete implementation on IPR)   :
>       before the IANA contract expiry (Sep 2016)
>
>      - CWG Chairs to share key points in the IPR discussions, on anything
> which needs coordination by the three OCs
>        Invitation open to Greg Shatan as the Chair of DT-IPR
>
>    iii. Move ahead with a Cross-OC group to make progress on this in a
> transparent and timely fashion
>       - Discussions online before the call on how we start, and discuss at
> the next call
