Re: [Ianaplan] control and negotiation (was Re: draft-ietf-ianaplan-icg-response-02 working group last call)

Heh. I am not insisting that iana.org MUST NOT be transferred to the IETF
Trust. Honestly, I think it would be a hassle for us at the end of the
day, but if for some reason that is the best outcome for the Internet
community, there would be no grounds to prohibit it. I'm just saying that
for the purposes of this document, I don't want our ICG response to ask
for it, and certainly not to demand it.
