All,

A reminder of the work that Sidley undertook on the IANA IPR issue.

Of the three scenarios discussed by Sidley as follows:

· ICANN maintains ownership of the IANA IPR,

· PTI becomes the registered owner of the IANA IPR, and

· An independent trust, such as the IETF Trust, becomes the registered owner of the IANA IPR.

Only the third scenario remains under consideration by the CWG. It is discussed in detail on pages 5-7 of the attached.

Thank-you,

Jonathan
