It also sounds like it would be compatible with the structure I suggest in my NetMundial offering <http://avri.doria.org/post/78863643474/one-possible-roadmap-for-iana-evolution> for an IANA Stewardship Group (ISG) that is made up of the clients of IANA, Root Zone Operators and other stakeholders. The pattern I suggest is that the ISG be an independent body under the ICANN umbrella, much as as the IAB is an independent body under ISOC. and that this body serve as the initial oversight body of the IANA function and Root Zone Management. avri
