Abstract
This memo describes the procedures by which the IETF appoints
representatives to the various bodies of the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and to
the Protocol Supporting Organization (PSO) related to ICANN.
1. Introduction
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
depends for some of its activities on the Protocol Supporting
Organization (PSO). The PSO is required to appoint three members
of the ICANN Board of Directors, and to appoint a Protocol Council
to give appropriate advice to ICANN.

Internet Draft IETF Appointments to the ICANN PSO Oct 1998
As a member of the PSO, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
is required to
- appoint up to three members to the PSO Board
- nominate members to the ICANN Board
- nominate members to the PSO/ICANN Protocol Council
This memo defines the IETF procedures for these appointments.
2. Members of PSO Board
The PSO Board has limited duties, mainly oversight of appointments
to the ICANN Board and Protocol Council based on nominations from
the PSO members, and financial oversight of payments from PSO
members to ICANN. For this reason an elaborate procedure
for appointing the PSO Board members is unnecessary, as long as
they are individuals answerable to the IETF under [RFC 2282].
The IETF members of the PSO Board shall be the current IETF Chair,
the current Chair of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), and
one other current member of the IAB or of the Internet Engineering
Steering Group (IESG), appointed by consensus of the IAB and IESG.
In the event that the IETF is required to appoint only two
members of the PSO Board, these shall be the IETF Chair and
IAB Chair. In the event that the IETF is required to appoint
only one member of the PSO Board, the IETF Chair and the IAB
Chair shall decide which one of them it shall be.
3. Members of ICANN Board of Directors
These are important policy-making positions and the
nominees should be selected by a specific open process.
Each year, the IETF Nominating Committee shall nominate
the required number of persons to terms on the ICANN
Board, using as much as possible the procedures defined
in [RFC 2282].
The number of persons and their terms will be defined
by the by laws of ICANN and the PSO. However, in normal
circumstances the nominations shall take place according
to the timetable established by [RFC 2282], in anticipation
of known vacancies on the ICANN Board.
The nominees are subject to a subsequent election by the
members of the PSO as defined by its by laws.
IETF nominees to the ICANN Board are subject to the recall
procedures defined in [RFC 2282].

4. Members of the Protocol Council
The Protocol Council is intended to act as a technical
advisory body for ICANN and as such it is necessary and sufficient
for the IETF nominees to be recognised as experts by the IETF
and answerable to the IETF under [RFC 2282].
The IETF nominees for the Protocol Council shall be the thirteen
current voting members of the IAB. If additional nominees
are necessary, the IAB shall choose them from a pool
consisting of all current IESG members and all current IETF
working group chairs. Note that working group chairs are
answerable to the IESG.
The nominees are subject to a subsequent election by the
members of the PSO as defined by its by laws.
5. Security considerations
This memo does not impact the technical security of the Internet.
