Paul, Colleagues:

The following issue was also raised in relation to the Numbers proposal in the informal meeting, I have fleshed them out further:

We appreciate the clarification that there is one contract with 5 RIR signatories.  In the SLA Principles, paragraphs 5,6 and 7 propose the ability to to review and possibly terminate the Agreement with the Numbering Services Operator.  Can these rights be applied by each RIR?  If so, could that result in the multiple SLAs across different operators.  Will the SLA address these issues.  Is there any limitation on individual RIR rights of exercise?  is there a role for the NRO?

It was agreed that each operational community might choose a different jurisdiction, but with 5 RIRs, there are 6 possible jurisdictions (including names operator) where the SLA could be interpreted. Could this lead to divergent outcomes and lack of predictability?  Will the SLA specify a law or set of laws to applied (this includes for Arbitration and will Arbitration be binding)?

Finally would it be useful to specify further requirements on paragraphs 3 and 4 as inputs to the definition of accountability procedures in parallel working groups?

Best-

Joe

This idea was worked out during the informal session yesterday.

I think it had support among everyone there, so here is an attempt to provide specific wording for the transmission of the question:

 

“The IETF IANAPLAN WG did not think a formal request to change the arrangements regarding the IANA trademark and the iana.org domain was necessary as part of its transition proposal. But Section III.A.2 of the RIR proposal says "It is the preference of the Internet Number Community that all relevant parties agree to [certain expectations related to iana.org and the iana tm] as part of the transition." If this formal request was required by the other communities would the IETF be willing to make its proposal compatible with that request?”
