<br>
</span>I believe here are two completely different things here.<br>
<br>
1. The IANA functions -- all of them -- move from inside ICANN to the<br>
affiliate. This is how ICANN performs the IANA functions. The agreements with other parties can remain between ICANN and those other parties, but that does not affect the "how ICANN gets IANA done."<br>
<br>
2. The names IANA function gets all the accountability rules and so<br>
on we've been talking about. That's the "names community proposal".<br>
This part really is names-only.<br>
<br>
If follows from these two premises, however, that ICANN needs also to<br>
undertake some sort of agreement with PTI about how the other<br>
communities' needs get satisfied. Presumably, if the other<br>
communities maintain an agreement with ICANN, then ICANN concludes an<br>
agreement with PTI that says, "You implement that." The details of<br>
how that is worked out, however, are not our problem and we don't need<br>
to have an opinion about it reflected in this document, I think.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
