[ispcp] SECRETARIAT: Agenda item, ICANN MoU RFC

[Mark McFadden <mcfadden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to Alain Bidron for reminding me of the request for comments 
on ICANN's MoU.  Many of you know that the  MOU between the US 
Department of Commerce and ICANN is set to expire on 30 September 2006. 
 The NTIA is seeking comment on the progress to date of the transition 
of the technical coordination and management of the Internet DNS to the 
private sector:

Commerce has provided a list of suggested questions to guide responses.
Two other related documents bear on this issue:

The statement of principles issued last year:

And, the ancient DNS White Paper from 1998:
