If the IETF's field of use is covered by the registration then there is an issue *today*, yet this topic does not appear to be covered in the MOU nor in the NTIA-ICANN contract, as far as I can see. Bernard - There’s quite a few peculiar aspects to all of this… (e.g. the USG having a contract with ICANN to provide IANA protocol parameter registry services when the IETF has an MOU with ICANN for the same services; the use of IANA mark in a very large context by IETF for years before ICANN ever existed and yet the trademark now held by ICANN, etc.) Without getting into an overly laborious exercise, it’s probably good to remember that ICANN was envisioned as a formalized incorporated version of the IANA, and was to do just what Jon (et al) did, only with a more formal structure around it. The ICANN blueprint did not have the vast DNS representation structure and policy development activities; the original bylaws called for the DNSO to be distinct from ICANN, just as the ASO and Protocol Support Organization (PSO). In this context, some of the more interesting aspects of the present arrangements might make more sense. The exercise we now face is that the overall USG imprimatur (e.g. the IANA Functions contract) may be removed in the near future, and hence we need to make sure that we have arrangements that make sense going forward _in the absence of the USG saying ‘just make it all work’ via the IANA functions contract_ This is bound to expose some issues that need to be considered, since the lightweight coordination of IETF activities with other communities (i.e. the PSO) has since been struck, the DNS community effectively was injected into ICANN itself (changing it from a formalization of just the IANA into a heavily DNS focused organization.) None of these departures from the original blueprint matter much while we have an all-emcompassing NTIA IANA functions contract, but in the absence of such, it’s going to be fairly important to get the relationships “right” going forward. /John Disclaimers: My views alone.
