Detailed Information
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions contract 
(SA1301-12-CN-0035) between ICANN and the United States Department of Commerce, 
National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) to maintain the 
continuity and stability of services related to certain interdependent Internet 
technical management functions, known collectively as the Internet Assigned 
Numbers Authority calls for a public consultation from all interested and 
affected parties to help satisfy the following objectives:

C.2.6 Transparency and Accountability - [No later than 1 October 2013], the 
Contractor shall, in collaboration with all interested and affected parties as 
enumerated in Section C.1.3, develop user instructions including technical 
requirements for each corresponding IANA function and post via a website.

C.2.7 Responsibility and Respect for Stakeholders - [No later than 1 October 
2013], the Contractor shall, in collaboration with all interested and affected 
parties as enumerated in Section C.1.3, develop for each of the IANA functions 
a process for documenting the source of the policies and procedures and how it 
will apply the relevant policies and procedures for the corresponding IANA 
function and post via a website.

The interested and affected parties are identified in C.1.3 as:

...the multi-stakeholder, private sector led, bottom-up policy development 
model for the domain name system (DNS) that the Internet Corporation for 
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) represents; the Internet Engineering Task 
Force (IETF) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB); Regional Internet 
Registries (RIRs); top-level domain (TLD) operators/managers (e.g., country 
codes and generic); governments; and the Internet user community.

The IANA functions are identified in C.2.9 as:

(1) the coordination of the assignment of technical Internet protocol 
parameters; (2) the administration of certain responsibilities associated with 
the Internet DNS root zone management; (3) the allocation of Internet numbering 
resources; and (4) other services related to the management of the ARPA and INT 
top-level domains (TLDs).

This consultation relates to the user instructions for the allocation of 
Internet numbering resources.
Section II: Background:

This is one of a series of consultations to identify source documents and 
publish user instructions for the delivery of the IANA functions, as described 
in contract SA1301-12-CN-0035.
