<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font face="Avenir Next">The IAB has raised a significant concern about the Mission Statement, which currently describes ICANN’s role of
<i>coordinating the allocation and assignment of the DNS’ unique identifiers, including
</i><i>Protocol port and parameter numbers</i>. As some of you may recall, in early comments they suggested changing the word “coordination” to “support.” WP2 discussed this and declined to modify the existing language in the Bylaws, but provided an opportunity
for the ASO, the Root Server community, and the port/parameter community to provide their own description of what policy “coordination” would mean in each (i.e., names, numbers, root servers, protocol/parameters) context.<o:p></o:p></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir Next"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Andrew Sullivan, Chair of IAB, has informed me that the IAB remains very concerned about the Mission Statement. According to Andrew (on behalf of the IAB), “</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">the
mission statement (including the chapeau) is misleading, has caused us problems in the past, and has been false at least since the end of the PSO [Protocol Supporting Organization] and arguably before that. In particular, according to the IAB, “ICANN does
not "coordinate, at the overall level, the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers.</span>”</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir Next">ANDREW SULLIVAN: Hi, my name is Andrew Sullivan. And I'm chair of the Internet Architecture Board. The mission of ICANN currently has text that ICANN -- and I quote -- is to coordinate at the overall level, the
global Internet systems of unique identifiers. End quote. That's not precisely true any more and hasn't been at least since the protocol supporting organization disappeared from ICANN. I'm wondering whether the Board is open to changing this part of the mission
since it's open anyway in the CCWG process?<u></u><u></u></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Avenir Next">STEVE CROCKER: I think I'm the designated hitter here. Andrew, thank you very much. There's been a somewhat uncomfortable disparity between some of the words that we use to describe ourselves and some of the words
that our close friends use to describe us. We have -- and we've -- some of us have been paying attention for a while. The good news -- I think it's extremely good news -- is that over the last relatively short period of time, we have built a much stronger
technical team, step one. And step 2 is would are we have actually got them connected to the communications process. Harder than I would have liked it to have been. But it's now there. And it's been one of these behind the scenes things of where we've been
pressing. So I think that, going forward, we're going to try to align our words in a more careful way. There's always a lot of equities about how many words you use to describe yourself which, you know. But I think some greater precision and adjustment of
the nuances is well in order. <u></u></font></p>
