Questions Concerning the Proposal as a Whole
1) Completeness and clarity: Is the combined proposal complete? Each of the operational
community proposals contains aspects to be completed in the future when the proposal isimplemented. Is the combined proposal specified in sufficient detail such that it can beevaluated against the NTIA criteria?

see response to question 12.

2) Compatibility and interoperability: Do the operational community proposals work
together in a single proposal? Do they suggest any incompatible arrangements wherecompatibility appears to be required? Is the handling of any conflicting overlaps between
the functions resolved in a workable manner?

see response to question 12.

3) Accountability: Do the operational community proposals together include appropriate
and properly supported independent accountability mechanisms for running the IANA
functions? Are there any gaps in overall accountability under the single proposal?

see response to question 12.

4) Workability: Do the results of any tests or evaluations of workability that were includedin the operational community proposals conflict with each other or raise possible concerns
when considered in combination?

General Questions
12) Do you have any general comments for the ICG about the proposal?

The IETF IANAPLAN WG has reviewed the draft ICG proposal within thecontext of the WG’s charter (http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/ianaplan/charter/) — specifically, “Shouldproposals
made by other communities regarding the transition of other IANA
functions affect the IETF protocol parameter registries or the IETF, theWG may also review and comment on them.” The IETF IANAPLAN working
group continues to believe that a transition away from a US Government
role in IANA management and oversight is appropriate and confirms
consensus of its participants that the draft proposal is not perceived
to pose problems for the Protocol Parameters function or to interfere withthe development or safe use of IETF standards. The IETF raised two
transition points that are mentioned in Paragraph 3062 of the proposal.
We would ask that they be referenced in Part 0, Section V of theproposal as well.
