Perry, With the USG asserting right to 'the final say' in this matter, I think the technical community (IAB/IETF/IESG) has to realize which is important: control over the IANA functions or control of DNS. We MUST make sure that the IANA role is handed over to the IAB to find funding for. Losing the DNS issue is, in my opinion, an acceptable loss. [ Especially considering the world can choose to point at USG roots or ] [ point at CORE roots. :) ] This is what ITAG should address, no? First, confirming with Magaziner that the IANA roles of protocol assignment and IP space 'ownership' be handed over to the IAB to create an IANA-lite that will handle them. DNS political issues can then be fought out by public argument against the GP. Billy Biggs Division 8 Networks bbiggs@div8.net
