ICANN now only comprises of the names community (GNSO&CCNSO&etc).
The oversight council would be a internal committee of ICANN. There is then a SLA/MOU/AOC between the new IANA entity and ICANN.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Avri captured the essence of Option 5 when she said "<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; ">Well if the GNSO and ccNSO can't leave ICANN, maybe the IANA
could leave if necessary. Wasn't that always the point of the NTIA being able to transfer the contract? So if we want to keep things similar, we need to maintain the ability for the contract to move from ICANN to another organization, or perhaps to a standalone
organization. We need 'separability' of the IANA function to remain one of its attributes."</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As phased implementation, maybe the new IANA entity can initially be a subsidiary (wholly/partially owned) of ICANN.

the names community so decides.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I believe our mandate in the RFP doesn't require us to worry about how the new IANA entity for the names community will interface with the IANA of the protocols and numbers communities.
