(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>
