                      <br>
                      Hi Greg,<br>
                      <br>
                      Thanks for taking the time to lay out this model
                      carefully.  I think it's good to expose it, but I
                      think the exposure makes it clear it isn't worth
                      pursuing in greater depth.  More below.<br>
                      <br>
                      On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 01:41:41AM -0400, Greg
                      Shatan wrote:<br>
                      <br>
                      &gt; In this model, ICANN would still be the
                      source of the right to perform<br>
                      &gt; the IANA Functions, as in the current
                      internal model.  However, ICANN<br>
                      &gt; would enter into an irrevocable agreement
                      with the Affiliate for the<br>
                      &gt; IANA Functions.<br>
                      <br>
                      The difficulty I see with the proposal lies in
                      those two statements.<br>
                      <br>
                      My view is that ICANN is not the "source of the
                      right" to perform the functions.  The source of
                      the right to perform the protocol parameters
                      function is the policy community for those
                      parameters (i.e. the IETF), and the source of the
                      right to perform the number resources function is
                      the policy community for those parameters (i.e.
                      the RIRs).<br>
                      <br>
                      The basic problem with this model (and this
                      interpretation of your<br>
                      description) is that it requires a fundamental
                      assumption that the functions are welded together,
                      and that there is a single body responsible for
                      "stewardship" of them.  This is something that the
                      other communities simply don't believe.<br>
                      <br>
                      I therefore don't think there would be value in
                      further elaboration of study of this model,
                      because anything that proposes a single source of
                      stewardship for all the functions won't fly.<br>
                      <br>
                      If, on the other hand, the model is supposed to be
                      one in which the affiliate gets the right to
                      contract for an entity to act as the naming
                      functions operator only, then it isn't clear to me
                      what work this wheel is supposed to do.  In order
                      for it to be an effective steward of only those
                      functions, it basically needs somehow to perform
                      the job of the community for names functions.  But
                      we already have a policy body for names functions,
                      however imperfect: ICANN, or perhaps some subset
                      of it.  So, to perform this stewardship function
                      for names, the affiliate would have to instantiate
                      most (or all) of the accountability measures that
                      ICANN needs anyway.  This seems like an excellent
                      way to re-open a number of prior decisions. 
                      Moreover, it strikes me that it's quite likely to
                      deliver subtle differences with the existing
                      mechanisms, which would offer a tempting
                      opportunity to game the system, a potential for
                      procedural deadlock, or both.<br>
                      <br>
                      Therefore, no matter which way I interpret this
                      model, it seems to me that it can't possibly yield
                      enough benefit to be worth exploring in greater
                      detail.<br>
                      <br>
                      Best regards,<br>
                      <br>
