[CCWG-ACCT] Strickland Testimony [ACB NA-NiC]

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I wonder,

has the following paragraph:

	NTIA has fulfilled this temporary role not because of any
	statutory or legal responsibility, but as a temporary
	measure at the request of the President.  Indeed, Congress
	never designated NTIA or any other specific agency
	responsibility for managing the Internet DNS. Thus, NTIA has
	no legal or statutory responsibility to manage the DNS. Just
	as Federal agencies can enter into contracts they need to
	fulfill their missions without specific legislative
	authority, Federal agencies can discontinue obtaining such
	services when they no longer need them.  As NTIA made clear
	at the time of its Statement of Policy, it intended only to
	procure the IANA functions services until such time as the
	transition to private sector management of the Internet DNS
	was complete.

from Mr Strickland's recent testimony before the Thue-Commitee

	http://www.ntia.doc.gov/speechtestimony/2015/testimony-assistant-secretary-strickling-senate-committee-commerce-science-and-
	
been discussed here already?

What implication does this have with regards to the stewardship, if any?

With regards to stress tests, if any?
