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?

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></font></p>

from that policy development process. The issue of how delegations/redelegations happen may need to be reformed (at least that’s what some ccTLD operators tell me) but as a policy issue, that decision certainly should be classified as policy and not as implementation
by IANA staff, don’t you think? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I’m at a loss as to how ICANN would be accountable and responsible for coordinating, at the overall level, the global Internet’s systems of unique identifiers. (Unless of course ICANN replaced the NTIA as the organisation that let the RFP for the IANA functions.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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