Dear Alissa and the ICG, We refer to the question that the ICG asked the IETF community on 9 Feb 2015 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ianaplan/current/msg01610.html
The numbers proposal sees these changes as a requirement of the transition and the protocols parameters proposal does not. If these aspects of the proposals are perceived as incompatible would the numbers and protocol parameters communities be willing to modify their proposals to reconcile them?
We do not observe incompatibilities between the proposals from the numbers and protocol parameters communities. The numbers community expresses a preference to transfer the trademark and domain, while the IETF proposal does not oppose such transfer. This is not an incompatibility, it is something that can be satisfied by implementation of both number and protocol parameters community’s proposals, as already specified. To confirm this, and to determine whether the transfer of the trademark and domain would be acceptable, we consulted the community. It is the opinion of the IANAPLAN working group that they would support a decision by the IETF Trust to hold the trademark and domain on behalf of the Internet community. For details, see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ianaplan/current/msg01659.html The IETF Trust also looked at this issue. The trustees decided that the IETF Trust would be willing to hold intellectual property rights relating to the IANA function, including the IANA trademark and the IANA.ORG domain name. For details, see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ianaplan/current/msg01664.html In short, we find no incompatibility between the proposals and no need to modify the protocol parameters proposal. Best Regards, Jari Arkko and Russ Housley on behalf of the IETF community and the IETF Trust
