Manal, Many thanks to you and your colleagues on the committee for drafting the FAQ. Question #4 quotes SAC 067 in answer to ³What are the IANA functions? ³ I do not dispute that SAC-067 is a well written and informative document. I do think a better reference document would be NTIA¹s contract, SA1301-12-RP-IANA, which defines the IANA functions over which NTIA has stewardship. For example, NTIA¹s description of the functions in the contract (C.1.1) states: ³The US Department of Commerce (DoC), National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has initiated this contract to maintain the continuity and stability of services related to certain interdependent Internet technical management functions, known collectively as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)." In particular Section C.2.9 of the IANA functions contract describes the functions for which NTIA is a steward. The contract is easily found on NTIA¹s website: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/page/iana-functions-purchase-order or on the ICANN website: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/contract-01oct12-en.pdf Best regards, -- Elise From: Manal Ismail <manal@tra.gov.eg> Date: Monday, September 29, 2014 at 11:16 AM To: "internal-cg@icann.org" <internal-cg@icann.org> Subject: [Internal-cg] ICG FAQ ..
Dear All ..
Please find attached, and in dropbox, a draft FAQ we (Martin, Patrik, Mohamed, Alissa & myself) have prepared to be discussed on the upcoming call .. This is supposed to be a living document .. So the target is to come up with an initial agreed version rather than an exhaustive complete one ..
Looking forward to receiving your feedback over email and/or during the call ..
Kind Regards --Manal
