[CWG-Stewardship] [IANA-issues] CWG RFP 2C - Draft Triage of IANA Functions Contract

[Maarten Botterman GNKS]

I'm with Avri on this. Never heard anyone being unhappy about the IANA
practical work ("IANA functions") as such, I think the world sees that that
works, and an old saying in IT is "don't fix it if it isn't broken". It
works. Let's keep the focus on where it is to be, effectively: on the
oversight function organization. A challenge big enough to keep us busy
without also considering a different organization of the functions at the
same time - in particular when there is no apparent need for that.

 

Or did I miss something?

Except that the assumption of this exercise is to change as few things as
possible and an assumption that they can or even should be moved to seperate
entities is not warranted.  The solition does not need to match the
structure of the operational communities doing the recommendations.

Without an anaylisis of the effect of seperation, I think it unwise to
assume they can or should be split.

I therefore would rather assume that the unity of IANA should be preserved
until such time as it is proved that sperating them is the better solution.
And until it is proven that sperating them invovles no risk.  Even the IETF
which is assuming it can pull out of IANA at any time has not done a
complete analysis of the risks of doing so. Until we are sure that it does
not pose a risk to the Internet, we ought to be careful about dumping this
requirement.
