What type of legal document, and 2. between whom? Are fairly straight forward. I hope legal council can provide some advice, and after a short community discussion, the ARIN CRISP team should be able to tell where this community stands (and share with us where other communities stand in reference to this question). Are all types of legal documents acceptable, in which case we move towards where other communities are headed? Is one type preferred over another, but a short list of the ones that are acceptable? Is the community ambivalent and happy to defer to council?</font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I'd say maybe a week discussion after we have the advice of council.

How pulling back the IANA function should work post NTIA transition, and what membership oversight there is for it, is completely new ground.

Once we have the current SLAs, and the current list of IANA services the community uses, we can try to figure out if the SLAs are sufficient, if not modify them. This is maybe a week of discussion, then the CRIPS team can modify the consolidated SLA document to include feedback.</font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">We also need to determine the future process for changing the SLAs, and how to provide oversight of the quality of service, how to declare (non-)compliance , and what is the membership oversight.

A good summary of what work is likely before us in the coming year(s).<br>
A more immediate question might be what needs to be done in the next<br>
couple of weeks before the CRISP group starts its formal work?<br>
<br>
Or to the members of the CRISP group from this region, what discussion<br>
do you still think needs to happen in this region before the global work<br>
starts?<br>
<br>
