Roland,

As to shifting IANA away from ICANN, that is another matter.

I was referring specifically to NTIA's administrative procedures oversight role.

Re ICANN's views on same, quoting John's email:

ICANN -

> names and addresses."

Is this a post-Beckstrom ICANN view? I was always under the impression
that one of his top priorities was that the IANA contract stayed with
them. Given that policy development ought to be bottom-up, when should
(in your opinion) ICANN start scheduling a WG to discuss this 'shift'.
