"IANA transition"

• July 2015: graphical overview: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/Number_Community_Proposal_Overview.pdf

• • Movie , January 20015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihB4ZyDvFwM

• • Joint proposal of CRISP team: December 2014: https://www.nro.net/wp-content/uploads/CRISP-IANA-PROPOSAL-First-Draft1.pdf

Under current arrangements, the NTIA is responsible for extending or renewing the IANA
functions agreement, and setting the terms of that contract. A new contract with the five RIRs
and the IANA functions operator as signatories would shift the responsibility for renewing,
setting terms or terminating the contract to the RIRs, who would coordinate their decisions via
the NRO Executive Council (made up of the RIR Directors and Chief Executives). Decisions
made regarding the contract would be based on operational circumstances, past performance
and input from open, regional communities.
