[CRISP-TEAM] [NRO-IANAXFER] JPNIC's comment for CRISP's initial draft

[Nurani Nimpuno]

I agree that JPNIC's comments are good. 

As the suggestion of putting in place requirements for the review committee, I personally feel that we should refrain from defining too many requirements in this document. I am leaning more towards Hans Petter's suggestion to leave the selection of the members to each RIR community. As he notes, the review committee is merely providing advice and is not a decision making body.

One alternative could be to simply state something general about how members will be selected based on their competence and knowledge of the IANA function (or something to that effect), and that each RIR community should do so in a bottom-up, transparent manner. 

Thoughts?
