Re: Last Call: <draft-ietf-ianaplan-icg-response-06.txt> (Draft Response

Hi John,

Responding to your message on 12/2/14, 7:11 PM, I am returning to one
issue that I have yet to address:

Your point is well taken.  The draft later contains the following statement:

To date there have been no unresolvable disputes or issues.


RFC 2860 specifies what is to happen in the case of a technical dispute.

I propose to make crystal clear what you have said above, as follows

To date there have been no unresolved disputes or issues between the
IETF and the current IANA functions operator.  [RFC2860] specifies that
should a technical dispute arise, "the IANA shall seek and follow
technical guidance exclusively from the IESG."
