This community needs to recognise that IANA is set of bounded functions
that does not need to be separated at the moment. It is at that point that
a legal way to reflect those 2 features above can then be determined.

contract and that the contract could be given to someone else. The
provisions of that contract are what require the *current* separation of
the IANA department.

And you may also be missing the point that it will not be the same story
with the contracting entity going forward. At the moment we have not had
any reason to worry about the contracting entity. That is likely to change
going forward. Like I said, (which was also mentioned by other members) you
don't necessarily need to go the contracting route currently presented in
order to achieve the ability to move IANA from ICANN when ultimately
necessary. We should stop mapping accountability to contracting...it's
deceit that does not necessarily build an organisation. A good
accountability is that which is built in an organisation...Which puts not
just the board in check, but also the community.

IMO those 2 things are the main items. The 3rd one would mainly rest on how
well and efficient IANA operates which can be well defined in the SLA...
Again these things are already existing.

We need to recognise that IANA operation is currently at the level where
almost everything is automated, so if things are going bad, even the
non-technical person will notice it. When such is noticed, a mechanism to
fix things is what is required.
