[CCWG-ACCT] Request for clarification - Ominous update on the IANA transition

[Drazek, Keith]

This is concerning:

> "...there have been various discussions between various members of the CANN management and various community leaders on concerns about some of the proposals from the IETF, RIRs, and naming community regarding separability.  These concerns have been raised in the context of the fear that  the proposals may make it harder to get approval from the US Government."


Non-separability is not among the five criteria established by NTIA in their March 2014 announcement. Where does this so-called "fear" originate? Separability is a core feature of the IETF's existing MOU...why would a continuation of that principle be a threat to the transition? It does not compute.

Keith
