			This document has attained rough consensus of the IETF working group
			and of the IETF community as a whole, as judged by the IESG in
			accordance with [RFC2026]. Several suggestions were raised that did
			not enjoy sufficient support to be included. Specifically:
			o A suggestion for a stronger statement over what terms the IAOC
			should negotiate.
			o A suggestion that "iana.org" and other associated marks be
			transferred to the IETF trust.
			o A suggestion that IAOC consider some form of arbitration.
			At the end, three individuals in the community made clear that they
			did not support the results, while many others did. The chairs
			concluded that rough consensus existed in the working group.
			During IETF last call, additional people voiced support for the
			group, and no additional people raised objections.
