There is no independent entity called IANA. It is more correct to use the word IANA with “functions operator” or “stewardship” or “functions”, and those revisions will be consistent with the rest of the document. The examples to be revised are noted below.</div><div><br></div><div>1) For question 9, is it possible to remove the stand-alone IANA since it is not qualified as the IANA functions nor as the IANA functions operator? Below is the proposed text without the superfluous “IANA”. The text that is deleted is highlighted in yellow and has a line thru it.</div><div><br></div><div><p class="ColorfulList-Accent11" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">The ‘Operational Communities’ <strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">of IANA</strike> are communities with direct operational or service relationships with the IANA functions operator, in connection with internet names, numbers, or protocol parameters, namely the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the Country Code Names Supporting Organisation (ccNSO), the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="ColorfulList-Accent11" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br></p><p class="ColorfulList-Accent11" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">2) For question 13, isn’t it more correct to say: “Can I submit my own proposal for how the IANA <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">stewardship</span> transition should take place?” Added the word “stewardship” which is highlighted in yellow. The committee’s charter is to come up with an IANA stewardship transition which is more specific than the general statement of IANA transition. The phrase “IANA transition” is repeated in the response to question 13, and should be revised to include the work stewardship also.</p><p class="ColorfulList-Accent11" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br></p><p class="ColorfulList-Accent11" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" size="3">3) In response to question 22, it says: "</font><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px;">After receiving consensus proposals from the operational communities regarding IANA, the ICG</span><font face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;">…” Please modify IANA with “functions” or “stewardship” or “operator”.

that, as we have agreed that the FAQ is going to be a living document, that we do not delay its posting pending finalization of discussions on all questions .. As a living document, it's hard to have a complete perfect version all the time .. Additionally,
the FAQ has to provide timely information and some questions are more urgent than others .. So my suggestion is that, as we continue discussion on the Board role, if the current answer is still unsatisfactory to some, we can proceed with other updates such
as Q#19 on whether the target deadline has been delayed, and Q#22 on the relationship between the ICG work and the ICANN accountability process ..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="color:black">If acceptable, I would hence suggest that ICG members skim through the track changes and identify any questions were there are still concerns or uncompleted
