[CRISP-TEAM] [NRO-IANAXFER] Contract details

[Izumi Okutani]

CRISP Team,


I would like to post this on the IANAXFER list, to clearly show we have
incorporate the suggestion made by a community member.

It is reflected in our issues list but I feel it's worth sharing our
position clearly to those subcribed on the mailing list, as discussions
are still taking place on this topic.

I will do this between UTC12:00 -UTC13:00 8th Jan - This is the time
when we fixed the 2nd draft but have not yet made the announcement about it.


Please let me know before UTC12:00, if you have any concerns/comments
about posting this message.


Thanks,
Izumi

Dear Colleagues,


The CRISP Team discussed the suggestion raised on the mailing about
keeping to high level principles in our proposal about the contract
between IANA function operator and RIRs.

There was consensus within the CRISP Team for this approach, and we plan
to reflect it on the 2nd draft proposal to be published today, on 8th
Jan 2015.

In the other words, the second draft proposal will not describe whether
the contract should have fixed term or not. This decision is to be made
at the time of implementation, to consider the most appropriate option,
based on the principles described in the proposal.

I hope this clarifies considerations by the CRISP Team and we'll make an
announcement on this list once we publish the second draft proposal.


Regards,
Izumi Okutani
CRISP Team
