Folks,

I'm surprised to hear a BCP is in-budget. First, the necessity has never
existed for the IANA, and whatever "business" ICANN conducts that isn't
as important as IANA continuity, doesn't need to be in-budget in this
budget cycle. Second, the utility of a BCP for ICANN business continuity
is not compelling, after continuity of the IANA function is removed.
Third, if one is serious about a BCP, we should get the best ROI that we
can, and if the MdR facility is "lost", the stand-by site that starts up
from archival media could be in a much lower cost venue than MdR.

Eric
