[NRO-IANAXFER] Internet Number Community IANA StewardshipProposal: Final Call for Comments

[Richard Hill]

Regarding the question "it's not yet clear to me how or why a contract would be better than the current IANA-RIR arrangements or be an improvement once NTIA oversight goes away", I would reply that the current proposal covers matters that are covered in the current IANA functions contract between ICANN and NTIA, but are not covered in the current IANA-RIR arrangements.

Best,
Richard

    I agree.

    Indeed. We have more than enough confidence in the RIRs' legal counsel to rely on their advice as and when it's needed. Or should do.

    +1



  + 1 and Yes. I'd strongly recommend leaving it to the relevant people concerned (the formal legal staff, boards and management concerned -- it's in their interest to get devilish details right and they will hopefully do so without trying to out lawyer ICANN). 

  Perhaps a fundamental question... but as time/expertise permits ... I would like a  response to Jim's earlier observation:


  Emphasis mine:


  'FWIW it's not yet clear to me how or why a contract would be better than the current IANA-RIR arrangements or be an improvement once NTIA oversight goes away. '


  Thanks in advance (and back to helping the kids with exam prep!)
