On the whole through shared goals and values which have served us so
well in the past.  However, we need to leave open the possibility that
something will go wrong for reasons that today we cannot fathom.  One
form of sharing is what we have today.  Are there other forms of
sharing?  Here I largely agree with Alissa: that is more a matter for
the IAOC to explore.  Our requirement is seeing that people get properly
directed to the registries that the IETF has told them to go to through
our documentation.  Off the top of my head I can think of several
structural arrangements to satisfy that requirement.  But I am quite
happy IAOC to "take it from here".

I will have a proposal for Monday on how to resolve this issue.  It is
very much along the lines that Alissa proposed and I agreed to.  I hope
it meets with this group's acceptance.
