prefer to see it as a “contracting authority” for the IANA functions that would conduct “oversight” to verify and enforce its SLAs. So in that sense, my view is consistent with Allan’s as expressed below but its primary function would be to award the contract.

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt">I see the “oversight council” as being a body that deals with IANA compliance with day-to-day SLA-type responsibilities e.g. the current performance metric
that 80% of root zone file and WHOIS database change requests be completed within 21 days. I would not expect that governments (other than those that are ccTLD operators) would have much interest in this. However, were there to be major review of these functions,
such as that which the NTIA initiated in 2011 with its NOI, or to change the operator, then I would expect that the responsibility for conducting such a review would not fall on the ‘oversight council’ alone and that in whatever mechanism that would be established,
there could be a role for governments.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt">Becky. I agree with your initial assessment that the "oversight council" would focus on "technical and operational issues" (as opposed to policy issues);
and therefore GAC participation in the council will not be required even though GAC participation at an equal footing will not be inconsistent with the multi-stakeholder model. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt">However, I think GAC participation in the council might be essential in the scenario where the oversight council decides to change the IANA operator in the
future. If the council decides to contract a different operator (different from ICANN) in the future, would it not lead to various policy issues such as jurisdiction of the new IANA operator, financing of the new IANA operator etc - where the insight of the
GAC may be beneficial?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

issues as opposed to policy issues ... But policy for IANA would remain in existing ICANN processes. Could you help me understand which technical/operational IANA services might raise “public interest” concerns? I agree with you that having some GAC reps
on a Oversight Counsel would not be inconsistent with the Strickling view, but I am curious about why GAC might want to participate in that kind of counsel. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
