<div>And aren’t we concerned that incorporating IANA as a sub leaves users depending on an asset-less entity in the event there is a problem? &nbsp;Presumably, ICANN would want to set up a sub that would survive an attempt to pierce the corporate veil. &nbsp;In addition,
 we would have to replicate all of the broader (other than SLA) accountability mechanisms.</div>
