RayYes, this has been an ICANN contribution to the community since the creation of ICANN, when these functions were transferred fromtheir previous home at ISI.Note: I think we need to define IETF requirements and get them filled, and that this process is one way of achieving that.If we find that ICANN isn't willing or able to do what we desire from them, we need to go somewhere else for running registries - at least new ones, and possibly old ones too. (There are some old ones with thorny issues attached to them, but new ones don't have that.)So ICANN doing this "for free" does not mean that we don't get to say how the job is done.
Indeed, and I would like to underline that the current IANA Manager
over at ICANN, David Conrad, has been working very closely with
us in drafting this SLA. So it isn't based on wishful thinking.
