<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">We estimate that the combination of annual expenses from ICANN and Verisign for those functions is now about $8-10 million. However, DNSA does not take over all the IANA functions, so expenses may be less. We
proposed an initial $12 million grant from ICANN to get things started and then continued funding of DNSA via self-imposed contributions by the DNSA members. In other words, the registries themselves pay for the DNS parts of the IANA functions. As the industry
generates more than $7 billion in revenue annually, we are talking about 1% or less of their revenue to support the DNSA functions.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Nii, thanks for your questions. Most of them are actually answered in the paper itself, but I will answer your questions directly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">First, it would be the end of 2 contracts, not one. ICANN and Verisign. You cannot just end the IANA functions contract.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Second, both contracts contain serious accountability measures. However wrongly conceived the idea of unilateral U.S. oversight is, how do we ensure that the root zone is managed properly and what is the recourse
if the root zone managers are either negligent, incompetent or corrupt? What do you replace the IANA contract with?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">The reason for a DNSA is that registries have the strongest incentive to get root zone management right. It is their data that the root zone contains. To ensure impartial administration we create a nondiscriminatory
right to own DNSA to all registries? <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">As noted above: 1) accountability problem; 2) incentives problem. To which we can add: not letting ICANN get too powerful.

<span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Not that many companies involved. More like a few hundred; lots of companies have multiple TLDs. Ownership shares might be based on some metric of size, such as names under registration, etc.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Very different. ICANN is for making policy. It involves representation of diverse stakeholders and a complicated process for developing consensus on policy and approval by the board. DNSA is for operations. Most
people I have talked to agree that we need to keep those things separate. So, we separate them<u></u><u></u></span></p>
