From athina.fragkouli at ripe.net Fri Aug 12 12:20:35 2016 From: athina.fragkouli at ripe.net (Athina Fragkouli) Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2016 12:20:35 +0200 Subject: [cooperation-wg] IANA IPR agreements - call for public comments Message-ID: <96569c22-0246-2d29-a11e-932a13ece8c2@ripe.net> Dear Colleagues, A call for public comment on IANA Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) agreements has been posted. The announcement is available at: https://www.ianacg.org/call-for-public-comment-on-iana-ipr-agreements/ Comments are due by the deadline of 12 September 12 2016 at 23:59 UTC. Background The Proposal to Transition the Stewardship of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Functions from the U.S. Commerce Department?s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to the Global Multistakeholder Community includes a requirement for certain IPR associated with IANA to be transferred from ICANN to an entity independent of the IANA functions operator. The IPR consists of trademarks and domain names. After discussion within the operational communities and the IETF Trust, the IETF Trust indicated that it would be willing to hold the IANA IPR. The IETF Trust is a Virginia common law trust created in 2005. Among other things, the IETF Trust was created for the purpose of acquiring, holding, maintaining and licensing certain intellectual property for the advancement of the science and technology associated with the Internet and related technology. The IETF Trust agreed to hold the IANA IPR in the service of the affected Internet operational communities. Representatives from the names community, the numbers community, the protocol parameters community, the IETF Trust, and ICANN have drafted a set of agreements to effectuate the transfer of the IANA IPR from ICANN to the IETF Trust and to govern the relationships amongst the parties with respect to the IPR after the transfer. These agreements are: - IANA IPR Assignment Agreement. This agreement transfers the IPR from ICANN to the IETF Trust. - IANA IPR License Agreement. This agreement allows for the IANA functions operator to use the IPR. The document available for public comment is a basic form that will be used to generate three license agreements, one each for the names, numbers, and protocol parameters IANA services. Items highlighted in yellow will vary by agreement and will be completed once the License Agreement is split into three. In each case the licensee is ICANN, with the ability established for ICANN to sublicense to PTI. - IANA IPR Community Agreement. This agreement explains the rights and obligations of the IETF Trust and each operational community as regards the IPR. The IETF Trust, the operational communities, and ICANN hereby solicit feedback as to whether the draft agreements address the needs of the affected communities.

You can find the full announcement here: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2016/update-iana-transition Kind regards, Nick Hyrka Communications Manager RIPE NCC From marcoh at ripe.net Fri Aug 19 14:10:43 2016 From: marcoh at ripe.net (Marco Hogewoning) Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2016 14:10:43 +0200 Subject: [cooperation-wg] "Incentives, Benefits, Costs, and Challenges to IPv6 Implementation" Message-ID: <4CDE84FF-4122-44D8-BAA5-6BA0763E2078@ripe.net> Dear Colleagues, As you may already have seen, the NTIA has published a Request For Comment regarding the implementation of IPv6. Apart from using the comments received to guide and inform NTIA?s efforts, they also intend to use this as a basis for a contribution to the IGF?s Best Practice Forum on IPv6. A more detailed blog post on this RFC is available at https://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2016/ntia-seeks-input-it-develops-initiatives-increase-ipv6-adoption Together with some community members I am participating in the IGFs Best Practice Forum (BPF) on IPv6: "Understanding the commercial and economic incentives behind a successful IPv6 deployment?. I would like to encourage network operators and other stakeholders tin the RIPE region, who have any data that could be relevant to this project, to share this with the Best Practice Forum, using the questions as posted by the NTIA as a guide. In particular we are interested to learn more details about the costs and return on investment of an IPv6 deployment and the commercial or economic arguments that motivated the decision to invest in and deploy IPv6. Contributions can be made directly to the Best Practice Forum mailing list at http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_ipv6_intgovforum.org or feel free to submit them to me personally and I am happy to forward them them on your behalf. A more detailed description of the BPF can be found at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/best-practice-forums/bpf-ipv6 We would also encourage RIPE community members, where applicable, to consider responding directly to the NTIA's RFC.
