As I said in an earlier message, if the other communities want to set up a similar consultative group, it will make things more complex for the IANA folks, but sure, that could work. However, as far as I know, to date there has never been a discussion about it, and in my mind, there MUST be an authorization function in place for all significant changes in IANA operations prior to the transition.

No. But it has a strong role to play in recommending that something be authorized or not. The committee does not have the authority to approve. That was given to the ICANN Board in the CWG Proposal. But presuming the committee is doing its job properly, the Board is not likely to second guess it. It is not too dissimilar from the role an SO plays in recommending policy to the Board. The process and the issues are different, but it is a similar (not identical) relationship, in this case related to implementation and not policy.

Milton, you raise an interesting issue, although perhaps not the one you thought you were raising. It is one we missed during the initial review of this charter. Among other things, the name of the group is incorrect. Although it is responsible for overseeing the architecture of the Root Zone, it is also responsible for significant operational changes in regard to all IANA functions (something that was omitted from earlier versions of the charter, which also led to the incorrect name). This is in line with the NTIA approval function it partially replaces (lesser changes no longer needing approval at all) and with the CWG report. IANA Functions Evolution Review Committee is probably a more apt name, even though it is a weak-sounding acronym - IFERC. You are correct regarding the RZM, although I think the generic conflict statement covers the issue, given that the people on the group are not likely to be overwhelmed by the RZM delegate.

I obviously cannot speak for you, but at the time DT-F was convened, I understood that issues such as software systems and critical operational procedures for any of IANA's activities had to have a "backstop", as we were then calling NTIA's involvement, and that was what we were discussing. Yes, each of the other communities COULD set up a similar multi-expert body and IANA could consult with any or all of them as appropriate, but there did not seem to be much value in that.

Seun, I tend to agree with Chuck, but I have added a few specific comments to some of your points. It is important to recall that during the initial discussions, this group was (somewhat facetiously) referred to as a group of the wise old men (and women) of the Internet. It replaces a completely opaque (and I suspect often ad hoc) NTIA process.

As Co-Chairs of the CWG-Stewardship, we would like to bring to your attention two important areas: The first area is the Customer Standing Committee (CSC). The CWG-Stewardship in its proposal recommended that a Customer Standing Committee be formed to replace NTIA’s oversight role as it relates to monitoring performance of the IANA naming function. The composition of the CSC will include members and liaisons from all ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. The second area is the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee (RZERC). The RZERC's primary responsibility will be to advise the ICANN Board regarding approval of any operational and architectural changes to the root zone, a role currently held by NTIA. The composition of the RZERC will include representation from the ICANN Board, IANA, SSAC, RSSAC, ASO, IETF, RySG, ccNSO and the Root Zone Maintainer. As implementation planning activities in these areas continue, please be on notice to expect communications from ICANN’s implementation team requesting your organization’s participation in these important committees. Broad cross-community representation on these committees will ensure valuable input into these committees’ work, and we encourage your organizations to participate. Thank you for your continued support. Lise Fuhr and Jonathan Robinson Co-Chairs, CWG IANA Stewardship Transition
