<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">As this is already a function of the existing contract I don&#8217;t believe that exploring additional detail on an already defined requirement of the IANA functions

 would be no last minute planning in the case of a separation being required under any circumstance. The old adage of &#8216;Fail to plan and you&#8217;re planning to fail&#8221; comes to mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am increasingly coming to the view that either some of the more extreme proposals that are being currently adumbrated will be totally ignored, which will unnecessarily weaken the position of the names community in the ICG negotiation,
 or the CWG will become responsible for destabilising iANA in the sense that the transition finally may not take place or a resolution will materialise outside the multi-stakeholder context.<o:p></o:p></p>
