ICANN Submits Implementation Planning Status Report to NTIA

12 August 2016

ICANN today submitted an implementation planning status report <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/marby-to-strickling-12aug16-en.pdf>  [PDF, 339 KB] to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), in response to a request <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/strickling-to-crocker-09jun16-en.pdf>  [PDF, 68 KB] NTIA made on 9 June 2016.

ICANN and the various stakeholder groups have worked tirelessly to complete the tasks specified by NTIA and the global multistakeholder community.

The following implementation tasks are complete:

·         On May 27, 2016, the ICANN Board approved the revisions to the ICANN Bylaws.

·         On June 24, 2016, ICANN signed the 2016 Supplemental Agreement with the Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF).

·         On June 29, 2016, ICANN signed the Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).

·         On July 5, 2016, ICANN and Verisign successfully completed the 90-day parallel testing period on the Root Zone Management System.

·         On August 9, 2016, the ICANN Board approved the amendments to the ICANN Articles of Incorporation.

·         On August 10, 2016, the Incorporation Documents for the "Post-Transition IANA" organization were filed and received by the California Secretary of State, under the name Public Technical Identifiers (which will be more commonly referred to as PTI).

·         On August 12, 2016, the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee (RZERC) was formed.

Significant progress has been made on the following implementation tasks, which will be complete in advance of September 30, 2016:

·         On August 18, 2016, the final PTI Bylaws will be published. These will incorporate comments received through the ICANN public comment process, which ran from July 12, 2016 to August 11, 2016. Once published, the PTI Bylaws will be ready for ICANN and PTI Board approval.

·         On September 16, 2016, the ICANN-PTI Naming Function Agreement will be published. It is undergoing a 30-day ICANN public comment process, which will close on September 9, 2016. The final Agreement will be published on September 16, 2016. Once published, the Agreement will be ready for ICANN and PTI Board approval and signature.

o    The customer service complaint and escalation mechanisms defined by the domain names community were incorporated into the Naming Function Agreement.

·         On September 16, 2016, the ICANN-PTI Services Agreement will be published. It is currently being reviewed and discussed with the community. Once published, the Agreement will be ready for ICANN and PTI Board approval and signature.

·         Several agreements and documents are complete and ready for signature or Board approval, which will be complete in advance of September 20, 2016:
