[ga] IAB on ICANN Mission

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

Excerpt from IAB Response to ICANN Evolution and Reform Committee Second 
Interim Report:

IETF Protocol Parameters:

In its previous response the IAB disputed the assertion in the ICANN mission 
statement that the role of coordination of the allocation and assignment of 
protocol port and parameter numbers, and policy-development reasonably and 
appropriately related to these technical functions, forms an integral part of 
ICANN's mission.

The IAB notes that the interim report makes no mention of the stated IAB 
concerns regarding this component of the ICANN mission statement. The IAB 
remains deeply concerned that the role of the management of protocol 
parameter assignments for IETF Internet-Standard protocols is not being 
adequately distinguished from the deeper issues concerning the role of ICANN 
with respect to the operation of the domain name system and unicast IP 
address assignment.

As indicated in the previous response, this situation is not acceptable to 
the IAB.

  
Leslie Daigle.
