I don&#39;t think there is &quot;IANA naming function department&quot; but there is &quot;IANA functions department&quot; So i propose the following:<br>

<p>There is no section of the document that describe what independent in that statement meant. If it mean independent of ICANN board then it should be clearly stated.<br></p><p>
