Do you have any general comments for the ICG about the proposal?

We, as individuals in the Japanese community, would like to express general support for thecombined proposal by the ICG as described below:
Since the early days of the Internet until today, the global Internet infrastructure and its operational
policies have developed and maintained sound and healthy operation, based on the spirit of open,
inclusive and bottom-up process. Stable and smooth transition of the IANA functions stewardshipis important for socio-economical sustainability of and on the Internet, through ensuring that theresources managed by the IANA functions continues to be available to its customers, as well as
the wider Internet community, for its services and activities.
The ICG proposal is based on the three proposals developed by the Operational Communities of
the IANA functions for each of its respective resources with the nature as described above, which
was then combined by the ICG. Based on this process, the proposal holds a straightforward
framework, where representative entities from each of the three Operational Communities, which
receive its services and facilitate policy/standards development of the relevant resource, will havedirect oversight on the respective IANA functions.
These Operational Communities have maintained responsible engagement in the standardization
and resource management, at the same time, have ensured the global public interest for therespective resources through unrestricted participation open to any stakeholders. Based on this,
we believe this well-established community based mechanism which is proven through the history,
is applicable for the additional role on the oversight of the IANA functions. We therefore believe
the proposal establishes a more desirable mechanism for the oversight of the IANA functions, asa result of its stewardship transition from the NTIA.

Further, we support the proposal as a structural design, but believe its implementation is the key
in the stable transition. We expect the communities to continue its current collaborative efforts
towards the successful transition, until its implementation is completed.
While this comment is a single submission, it represents the support of individuals whose names
are listed below. We hope the ICG and NTIA take this into consideration, in terms of the numberof individual supports this single submission represents.
