Martin, There currently is an authorization process. The RFP requires us to justify eliminating it. As to concerns about gatekeeper functions and delays -- if we were to carry on the role as defined currently (or even more lightweight/automated), and define it clearly, wthat should seem to control for the "slippery slope" concern. On the other hand, we need to explore the extent to which the authorization function is useful or helpful or worthwhile. I don't assume it is worth keeping just because it is there. Finally, as a point of information, can you clarify what you mean by jurisdictional concerns? Greg On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 11:31 AM, Martin Boyle <Martin.Boyle@nominet.org.uk> wrote:
And I for one am deeply suspicious of including an authorisation process. It can only be on whether the process has been followed and the proposed changes are accurate: wouldn’t it be best to confirm with the customer?
My concern is that the authorisation process as is is entirely administrative. I’d be unhappy with something that kept in place a role that may become a gatekeeper and could slow down a process. I’d also note that there could be jurisdiction questions associated with this role.
Cheers
Martin

I believe "verification" was used as a synonym for what we have generally called "authorization" in our discussion of NTIA's role.

The RYSG comments suggested a secondary verification step within the IANA Dept. Or an independent third party, which could be a professional audit company.
Any verification would need to meet the same service levels attained now, or better.

Hi,
Sitting in the *IANA Department - Who, What, Why?* session.
The question of who would perform the verification after NTIA no longer does it.
Unless we assume that the function is not required, is this something that could just be farmed out to a professional audit company?
