Thank you for the draft text Alan.

Just want to check if this is consistent with the summary Andrei has
sent to the IANAXFER list.

If it doesn't contradict, we can add this to the draft if no objections
observed in the coming 24 hours.

If it contradicts, we need to re-confirm CRISP Team position on this.

*Issue: Intellectual Property Rights/IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA domains*
---------------------------------------------------------------

Contrary to the issue related to IANA.ORG domain, the holdership of the
above domains is with the IAB, aligned with the policy for these
registries specified in RFC3172 "Management Guidelines & Operational
Requirements for the Address and Routing Parameter Area Domain
("arpa")". Specifically, these zones are delegated to IANA by the
Internet Architecture Board (�IAB�) and �[s]ub-delegations within this
hierarchy are undertaken in accordance with the IANA�s address
allocation practices� (RFC3172).

Given the status of these domains and sub-domains below and also taking
into account that this service is outside the scope of the NTIA
contract, we did not identify any IPR issues that need to be covered in
the response.
