[CWG-Stewardship] Update on IANA IPR

[Mueller, Milton L]

An entity external to ICANN, taking over the IANA brand and identity, leaving ICANN as a mere licensee, entering into a contract with ICANN where that external entity exercises oversight and control over IANA services (including the ability to find ICANN in default of that contract and ultimately the ability to enter into a contract with someone other than ICANN for those services).
Greg:
What a desperate rhetorical ploy.
IETF Trust does not select the IFO for names.  Only the IFR process has the ability to change the operator, which by default is PTI. IETF Trust has no control over the names community-based IFR. IETF Trust does not “exercise oversight and control over IANA services” it merely allows PTI to use the TM and domain as long as it is the IFO. If you think we need to build on the proposal to ensure that limited role for IETF Trust then try to be constructive and make modifications or additions to what CRISP team proposed to ensure that outcome. Don’t invent scare stories. What is there to back up your assertion that IETF Trust would have the “ability to enter into a contract with someone other than ICANN for [names-related IANA] services.” Nothing.
