<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Dear all,</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Attached is a paper prepared by InternetNZ staff called "ICANN/IANA: Role and Structural Considerations".</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">In the document we step out the various parts of the NTIA role that the community need to build a new settlement around. We make some comments regarding the importance of a transition to a new settlement that deals with *all* aspects of the NTIA role - they are interlinked and only dealing with one part creates risks to the stability of the ecosystem.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">There are several diagrams attached that disaggregate the relevant DNS functions - policy, operations, oversight and so on - and that then show the institutional locations of those functions today. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Then further diagrams set out some options for future institutional arrangements for these functions.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The intention is to stimulate debate and discussion about:</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">* what is and isn't part of the transition</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">* the wide range of solutions available for the institutional aspect of the new settlement</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I hope this is a constructive contribution.</div>
