[IFR2-team] IAB Reply to ICANN's Request for Appointment of Members and Liaisons to the Second IANA Naming Function Review (IFR)

[Mirja Kuehlewind]

Dear Jennifer Bryce, dear members of the ICANN org,

Thank you for the invitation to name a liaison to the IANA Naming Functions Review Team (IFRT).
We would like to inform you that the IAB decided to not appoint an optional liaison 
inline with the decision from 5 years ago.

As a reference, the IAB back then made the following comment 
within https://comments.ianacg.org/pdf/submission/submission72.pdf <https://urldefense.us/v2/url?u=https-3A__comments.ianacg.org_pdf_submission_submission72.pdf&d=DwMFaQ&c=qzHnJIRvjI6L-clJH8JwLQvf_Iq43fzikf6aoxZgMb8&r=0c5g_jBisMd0Mvrv260WjCsDo_lphr-fsVao5L9S4DI&m=d61eJq7POJMhTofYO3ysY6-RHcBcYogMt8hRLAxkcUEJck2plqzv7gMW7rNiCNdo&s=m99ACIgCg7lKsEiPnAgXwt4zB4cT-VWGXi9XAkWogVQ&e=> 
which we still fully support:

"However, the IETF continues to be satisfied with the existing
working arrangements with the IANA staff and their delivery of the 
protocol parameter functions. We believe these arrangements will remain 
as effective as before the transition.

Because the existing MoU and annual SLAs govern the relationship with
ICANN as relates to the IANA functions, we have no current intent to 
place IETF representatives on additional committees whose primary duty 
is to judge the effectiveness of IANA (or ICANN more generally) for 
other IANA functions"

Best regards,
Mirja Kühlewind
IAB chair for the IAB
