ICANN's At Large community, the group in ICANN expected to represent user interests in all aspects of ICANN's work has written a statement covering each of the six questions in the U.S. government's notice of inquiry: <https://community.icann.org/display/alacdocs/ALAC+Statement+on+the+US+National+Telecommunications+and+Information+Administration+%28NTIA%29+Notice+of+Inquiry+%28NOI%29> Apologies, this information is too late for this morning's meeting on the IANA function, but hopefully useful.

I wont make it for the meeting but plse register my comment on the above as follows:
1. No single government should have oversight powers over IANA functions(core operational functions of the Internet).
That's what the original White Paper said...it's just 20 years later now.
NB: IANA functions are administrative, not operational.
2. It is therefore best that the US government relinquishes oversight powers over the IANA function in a progressive manner i.e. by moving its relationship with ICANN over IANA function from the current "Contractual" agreement to a "Cooperation" agreement locally known as an MOA and eventually an non-legal agreement sometimes known as an MoU
that's what ICANN says too:
