<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Right. In particular, one would hope that proper administration of the IANA

as an initial requirement.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The IANA functions do not consist only of those related to the DNS, yet
many of the suggestions and assumptions we see tend to be limited to issues and
mechanisms that may apply more closely to DNS-related IANA functions than to
others. It would be helpful to be clear whether we're talking about the
DNS-related functions only, or the full scope of IANA's responsibilities to the
internet community.</DIV>
