Hi Avri,

That would be my assumption, however this may also depend on how the RZM management is handled after the transition (which by the way currently seem to be out of our scope)

 

I think either way the need for external audit could be an overkill, as described by Lisse and the NTIA rep during the session; there has not been any time when NTIA sent back the request passed to it by IANA neither is NTIA performing anything other than ticking off boxes (in this context).

From RIR background, I liken this to asking staff of RIR to be subject to external audit everytime they want to assign IP address to an applicant. The point is everyone does the audit/checking one way or the other and what is important is a process to cry foul when/if it happens.

Regards
