Questions Concerning the Proposal as a Whole1) 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?

Nokia commends the progress made by the global Internet community on the IANA StewardshipTransition and associated issues of ICANN accountability. We appreciate the efforts of the IANA
Coordination Group (ICG) to produce the proposal for community review and comment.
As a gTLD Registry Operator and a Company with global business reach we see Internet as aparamount global resource for our and our customers' business. Openness, stability and security
have been key parameters for Internet's success and flawless operation of IANA functions isessential for that to continue.
To support the work and proposal of ICG we want to submit the following comments:- We support the globalization of IANA functions and see that the time is right for transition of theoversight function.
- We support the principles which were commonly agreed in the Internet community in thebeginning of the stewardship transition process and firmly believe that the Internet technicalcommunity is strong enough to assume the IANA functions stewardship role.
- The model included in the proposal is relatively complex and thus includes challenges with regards
to clarity and transparency. Nokia understands the ICG outcome reflects the consensus of the threeoperational communities and therefore we support this outcome. The challenges embedded in thecomplexity should however be considered in the remaining accountability related work of the ICANN
CCWG.
- Finally as the work of ICG and CCWG continues, we like to remind that accountability solutions
should be based on open multi stakeholder process in order to avoid possible capture of any singleinterest group.

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?

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?

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?
