NANOG Folks -
There is a fairly important ICANN consultation going on which seeks input from
the Internet community regarding ICANN's accountability mechanisms and the
desirability of any potential enhancements (this is context of ICANN operating in
the absence of a contractual relationship with the US Government.)
This topic has the potential for significant impact on the administration of both
Internet DNS names and IP addresses, so those who have strong views in these
matters might want to provide input accordingly (See the attached message to
PPML providing pointers to the consultation) The RIRs, as coordinated via the
NRO, have a draft response (attached) and input on that is welcome as well.
ICANN extended the deadline to the end of this week, which provides this
opportunity to obtain additional community input.
Thanks!
