Response to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG)
Request for Proposals on the IANA Protocol Parameters Registries
Abstract
The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration
(NTIA) solicited a request from the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) to propose how the NTIA should end its
oversight of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
functions. After broad consultations, ICANN in turn created the IANA
Stewardship Transition Coordination Group. That group solicited
proposals for the three major IANA functions: names, numbers, and
protocol parameters. This document contains the IETF response to
that solicitation for protocol parameters. It was included in an
aggregate response to the NTIA alongside those for names and
numbering resources that are being developed by their respective
operational communities. A reference to that response may be found
in the introduction, and additional correspondence is included in the
Appendix.

RFC 7979 IANA ICG Response August 2016
1. IETF Introduction
In March of 2014, the U.S. National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA) announced its intent to transition
oversight of Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions
[NTIA-Announce]. In that announcement, NTIA asked the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to establish a
process to deliver a proposal for transition. As part of that
process, the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG) was
formed. The charter for the ICG can be found in Appendix A. The ICG
in turn solicited proposals regarding post-transition arrangements
from the names, numbers, and protocol parameters communities in order
to put forth a proposal to the NTIA. The final request for proposal
(RFP) can be found in Appendix B. The response from the ICG to the
NTIA may be found at [ICG-Response].
