The RIRs also make up a layer of the "numbers" (i.e., IP [internet protocol] address) community, one of the three communities (along with names (that's us) and protocol parameters (IETF)) responding to the RFP on IANA transition.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I believe there are some worthwhile points for consideration in this submission.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Izumi Okutani</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:izumi@nic.ad.jp" target="_blank">izumi@nic.ad.jp</a>></span><br>Date: Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 12:24 AM<br>Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Reference for legal subteam<br>To: Accountability Cross Community <<a href="mailto:accountability-cross-community@icann.org" target="_blank">accountability-cross-community@icann.org</a>><br><br><br>FYI, ARIN has had an opportunity to take a looks at ICANN's Bylaws with legal feedback from its lawyers, which may be of an interest for legal subteam.<br>
This is just sharing it for your reference, simply some legal research work that ARIN sought & which may be useful for the CCWG's groups reference and not a recommendation.<br>
