[CRISP-TEAM] FW: Community accountability WRT IANA performance

[Izumi Okutani]

Hi John,


Thanks for sharing the questions from Jason. Just to follow up if Jason is still interested in asking those questions. I have no concerns about posting those questions on the ianaxfer and have them answered by the RIR legal team who developed the SLA. 

I do have a question about his questions :)

He listed some exapmples about the capture by some group and I wasn't sure how that could happen, given it it the five RIRs as the direct customers of the IANA Numbering Serives, who would be responsible in the performance review. The community provides the advice to the RIRs and they don't directly do the oversight, so I wonder how a certain group can capture the performance review as he has listed as a possible scenario. Perhaps I am not understanding his questions properly? In anycase, I see no issue to have those questions asked on the global list.

I think that the best way forward is that I ask Jason to share these questions on the global list so that all interested parties will be able to share. I think that the team that drafted and is working the SLA would be in best position to answer and Michael agrees. Let me know if there are any concerns, otherwise I will ask Jason to post later today.
