<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">Hi Kavouss,</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">There seems to me that there was some confusion between us on the role of the NTIA and how the names proposal would address this.
</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">The NTIA has a number of roles \u2013 identified in the document which went to consultation in December. I\u2019m sorry if I did not make clear that I was looking at NTIA\u2019s role in letting the contract and its ability to terminate and re-tender.</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">One key part of the CWG\u2019s discussion has been focussed on separability \u2013 a role that NTIA currently has by virtue of its contract with ICANN for the role of IANA functions operator. The contract approach allows the role to be reassigned
in the case of the IANA functions operator failing to meet obligations and failing to remedy the failings.</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">In the model in front of us today, at transition ICANN would take the NTIA responsibility for a contract with its affiliate (subsidiary) the PTI \u2013 where PTI is the contractor currently providing the IANA functions operator, the IANA division
in ICANN. </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">The role of the CSC is to carry out the operational responsibilities associated with managing the contract. Its role is quite limited in that it monitors performance against the agreed service level targets and works with PTI to ensure
that concerns are addressed. The CSC does not make the decision on the future of the contract.</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">For other roles of the NTIA, we recommend:</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">\u2022 Discontinuing the third party authorisation of changes to the registries;</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">\u2022 Further work on dealing with appeals on changes to the registries;</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">\u2022 Using the CSC and PRF to process changes to service level agreements and other operational conditions; and
</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">\u2022 Using the CSC (and/or the PRF) to initiate discussion on structural or operational changes (the introduction of DNSSEC was the example I used) but leave open for the moment who might authorise change.</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">(I might have missed something, so do not treat this as a definitive list. There\u2019s also a lot of detail I have not covered.)</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">However, all of these would come back to ICANN to implement or cause to be implemented.</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">Hope this helps</div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv3938562874MsoNormal">Martin</div>
