<p dir="ltr">Well all I am saying is we should not liken change of IANA operator to that of ISP, the level of simplicity is just different. For me it's not just about the switching, it's also about how that may impact the stability/security of IANA operation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However should it be possible to change? Absolutely but for unresolvable reasons which I am glad you seem to agree to as well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards<br>
PS: I am currently in the process of changing ISP for an organisation and I can tell you that changing is not always simple in that world as well ;-)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">A change of IANA operator goes beyond just swapping and signing contract, the experience history in the current IANA operating staff will be lost and that is of great importance to me. Secondly i think its quite
an hypothesis to already determined that the new IANA operator is a good one, without having tried them in any way.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">MM: The IANA operator will be changed only if the “current IANA operating staff” has so frustrated its users that they want to change.
So yes, their experience history will be discarded but only if our experience and history with them is bad. And yes, you don’t really know for sure how the new one will perform – this is exactly like an ISP change and a lot of other service changes<u></u><u></u></span></p>
