          Again, it makes no sense to keep the other parts of the IANA
          functions separate from the naming parts. The entire

    As the other operational communities are clients of ICANN, is
    ICANN's internal construction an issue for them?  Isn't this just an
    implementation issue? Does the IETF contract/MOU specify how ICANN
    is organized internally?  And as long as ICANN keeps delivering the
    service they want, they won't need to resort to their remedy of
    finding another provider and ICANN can be organized as it wants. <br>
    <br>
    Personally, I would have preferred a solution where the other
    operational communities jointly owned/controlled the affiliate, but
    that idea was not treated favorably by those operational
    communities, so now we have  a possible solution that leaves them
    with the status quo for their relationships with ICANN.<br>
