[CCG]Re: IETF Trust Restructuring & Transfer of IANA Intellectual Property

[Glenn Deen <[e-mail]>]

Before this discussion gets too much life in it:

To clarify, the IANA IPR being discussed here is only what is listed in the
agreement [1].

It is the ONLY domain names used by IANA and the literally IANA TMs used to
operate IANA.  It is not anything published or contained in the IANA
registries.
