[CWG-RFP3] Option 5 - New IANA Entity

[Milton L Mueller]

This is just wrong, Donna. The criteria the NTIA set are quite explicit and open and “don’t have a separate IANA entity” isn’t among them. More generally, as a principle, we should do that we think is best within the criteria, and not try to second-guess what the NTIA wants, or claim to be channeling the inner wishes of the NTIA. That makes for a distorted dialogue.

I have some concerns that we’re potentially over-reaching here in terms of what we’ve been asked to do.

I don’t believe the NTIA is going to accept a proposal which calls for a separate IANA entity. In my mind, the NTIA announcement was evidence that they are happy with the current arrangement and how ICANN manages the IANA function – what they have asked the multi-stakeholder community to do is develop a mechanism that replaces the NTIA role in the process, not ICANN’s.

Thanks,

Donna
