FYI -- IAB statement on IANA RFI

[Leslie Daigle <leslie at thinkingcat.com>]

As you may have seen, the Department of Commerce has recently
published a Request for Interest (RFI), for the whole IANA function:

http://www.fbo.gov/spg/DOC/OS/OAM/Reference%2DNumber%2DDOCNTIARFI0001/SynopsisR.html

While the RFI was not a surprise, the IETF was not consulted in any way
about the technical parameter assignment portion of the IANA work.
As noted in the message we just sent in reply to this RFI,  this gives
us some concern in terms of potential impact for IETF work.

http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence/IANA-2006/IAB-RFI-Input.pdf

The IAB will be working through this year with the IAOC to ensure the
IETF continues to have a suitable technical parameter assignment
function.


Leslie,
for the IAB.
