[AfrICANN-discuss] Midterm Review of, the Joint Project Agreement between ICANN and NTIA

[Anne-Rachel Inné]

Dear All,

(sorry for dupes for those who are on other lists).

As you may all know, NTIA is conducting a review of the JPA(
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/frnotices/2007/ICANN_JPA_110207.html), with
deadline for comments by 15 February. ICANN has prepared its own submission,
which was posted yesterday on the website. I believe it will be good that as
many people, organisations, ccTLDs, Ministries, Regulatory Agencies,
Industry people, submit a letter also supporting the end of the JPA.

With the attached letter of submission, there is also a table of
achievements measuring ICANN's performance toward its responsibilities in
the JPA. It is similar to the one found in our Annual Report (on ICANN's
website) but this one has urls that link to the actual document and/or
announcement that supports the achievement.  It's also a useful tool,
compiling all materials in one place for general use.

The ICANN letter is forthright in that it says the JPA should be concluded.
The Board thinks that concluding the JPA is the next logical step in
transition, as you'll also see reflected in the letter. We hope that the
community finds the submission a useful base/reference from which to provide
support and own comments.

I am available if anybody wants to discuss this and they can send me
emails or I can call them next week as well if they wish. Internationally we
are keen to ensure that those who've raised ICANN's JPA,  find the document
useful for their comments.

Cheers,
