[Iana-transition] lanic update, ideas for new oversight board (MONC)

[David Huberman]

John,

I took some time to think through your question. 

I think it makes sense that the NRO should have ultimate authority for the following functions:

a. manage the AS number space
b. manage the IPv4 address space
c. manage the IPv6 address space
d administer the in.addr-arpa and ip6.arpa domains

By "ultimate authority", that would previously have meant that the USGOV would dissolve the 
language within the MOU with ICANN previously referenced, and entered into a new MOU
with the NRO.

Does that sufficiently clarify my proposal?

David -

   Are you suggesting that the RIR community should be able to determine
   (via the NRO coordination function) the appropriate contractor to provide
   IANA operator services for the Internet Numbers Registry, i.e. that the
   IANA Stewardship transition plan should make that decision explicit, or
   are you proposing that the NRO should literally be the IANA operator?

Thanks!
