<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Do we really need to be considering what the future ICANN does, if we are concerned with the stable future of the names process, specifically the IANA functions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">ICANN can define its own business model if it needs to change due to any activities arising out of the transition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I’m just not sure where understanding a future ICANN comes into consideration at this stage. If a future independent IANA function decides to continue its relationship
with ICANN as the status quo then it will be the responsibility of the entity to define the terms of that contract.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">And I think that the ethos of this transition on a broader scale is that the responsibility for ensuring a single interoperable internet should be moving away
from a single point (i.e ICANN) to a more distributed role between the IANA functions, IETF and RIR’s. (This is the multistakeholder bottom up part)As the other two parties to this are centered on their MOU’s they also have the option to move away from ICANN
in the future if they so see the need to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">See my comments below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Could I ask you to please expand upon your statement that (if the group performing the IANA functions were moved to a new entity), ICANN "</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">would
no longer be responsible for ensuring a single interoperable Internet</span><span lang="EN-AU">"?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">DA: perhaps I overstated, but I do wonder how ICANN could be responsible for ensuring a single interoperable Internet if they have no control of the entity that
coordinates the unique identifiers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">If "IANA Inc." is in a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICANN, and functions essentially in the same manner as it does today (same people, same offices, etc.), would the statements in your email still be true?
<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">DA: No, I was referring to the case where there are two separate entities. If the subsidiary is still linked to ICANN and the reporting and staffing
etc. remains the same then I don’t see IANA Inc. as you describe it as too different from what it is today.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Or are your statements limited to the scenario where "IANA Inc." is a truly independent entity, with no relationship to ICANN?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">DA: certainly an IANA Inc. that is truly independent with no relationship to ICANN is a completely different scenario and would need to be thought
through very carefully. Who would this IANA Inc. be responsible and accountable to? How would the relationship be connected to ICANN? Would ccTLD delegations/redelegations still require approval by the Board, and how would that work? How would funding be provided
to support resourcing and staffing etc. Personally, I think this scenario is simply out-of-scope of what we should be discussing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Is performing the IANA functions the only way in which ICANN ensures that there is a single interoperable internet?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-AU">In Option 5, a new IANA entity is created and the IANA functions are transferred from ICANN to this new entity. 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></span></p>

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><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
